feel the vibe
etching by Ruby Silvious
“Where am I” Haiku:
Sometimes in the fog
emerge my roots-not to
tangle but embrace.
Before Owen was born John biked from Nassau to Queens on Long Island’s North Shore.
Now 45 years later, Owen heads the Columbia County Mountain Bike Alliance.

The soil waited for the son, and made a path for him.

sometimes trees grow in water
hold the moss of memories
of hippos in the mud
of tusks joined in love
of wiley willows
whispering.

in napkin folding, Poetry Tags: Annika learned this, coiffe, Dutch hat, French nun, Grandma's 50thWedding Anniversary, my Alsace Lorraine Heritage, napkin folding, traveling in the car, when I was 10 years old
traveling in the car Annika learned this
.
I remember wearing a hat that looked like this when I was 10 years old
at my Grandma’s 50th Wedding Anniversary.
Reminds me of my Alsace Lorraine heritage
and what we referred to as a Dutch hat.
Later, as a French nun, I wore something similar and called it a coiffe!
Isn’t life grand?

in Poetry, warriors in the garden Tags: Alice in Woderland deals the cards, in Quenby's garden, the blades of grass erect, the bunnies are warriors, warriors in the garden
in Quenby’s garden
even the bunnies are warriors;
the blades of grass erect;
and every gardener
Alice in Wonderland
who deals the cards!

in Poetry, tricking the male Tags: fly so gracefully, hard to tell, headache excuse not enough, move between dimensions, trick-ee, trick-er, tricking the male, when they both shimmer so beautifully
is this the trick-er or the trick-ee?
hard to tell
when they shimmer so beautifully
fly so gracefully
and move between dimensions.
Apparently the headache excuse is not enough!
