this Poem
I’m going to send
this Poem
to everyone I know
just to see who
will give it Love
and let it take root
justĀ to see
where my words
can sprout
how green
they can be
how well watered
in this world

Shadow Players
One glimpse
of darkness
hopsĀ from the larger
bank of shadows
just a fleck
a baby bird
with ebony feathers
has flown the nest
never to return
only to bring
flashes of lightening
as it plays
