A Sensitive Constant

Love’s gentle whisper

Brush me beautiful

With vivid shades

Of grace,

Leaving a sensitive constant

Within warm delight

In crimson folds

If a thankful heart

Cold Weather

How do you feel about cold weather?

I like cold weather because

It’s good sleeping weather.

I like to stay in bed with a good book,

And with a hot mug of coffee.

I don’t like it too cold though.

Down here near

The Gulf of Mexico it doesn’t

Get too cold and it doesn’t

Stay cold.

Time of Day

Time of day inspires

My pen to spill ink sweetly

Emptying my soul

Collar Bone

Have you ever broken a bone?

When I was 16 years old I decided

To take my 10 speed bike

For a ride in my neighborhood.

I went down a grassy hill

At full speed, never thinking

Of holes in the grass.

My front wheel hit a whole

And a went flying head first,

Landing on my left side,

Passing out.

When I woke up I tried

Getting up with my left arm

And I realized something

Was not good because

Of the immense pain.

My mom took me to the doctor ,

Took X-rays and saw my collarbone

Was fractured.

He put a sling on me

That pulled my shoulders back.

It took several weeks to heal

So no surgery was the thing back then.
