Gentle Rain Listen to your heart beat softly as summer burns in effigy restless crickets voice sad disdain to the rhythm of gentle rain. Piercing cerulean sky yields to the soft bloom of cotton fields nimbus clouds releasing their pain to the rhythm of gentle rain. Peace beckons where green river flows night falls inContinue reading “Gentle Rain”

Dance of Life
Dance of Life Perched by the open window tiny dancer bathed in glow beneath a veil of green eyes gilded lily in disguise. Faded scars cannot erase sad memories from a place where sticks and stones broke her bones sharp lessons learned long ago. Dodging minefields, cat and mouse secrets hidden in old house oneContinue reading “Dance of Life”
The Nestlings
Photo by Colleen Breuning © 2015 The Nestlings (A Quatern) When Monday mornings come around, The air is filled with precious sounds. Pitter patter of tiny feet Upon the deck, tasting sweet treats. The scent of lilacs spins me round When Monday mornings come around. Endless summer in cloudless skies, See the sparkle in clearContinue reading “The Nestlings”

Aperture
Aperture Shivering against the wretched cold As clouds bunch up in cerulean sky. Thoughts jumble into a tangled knot Like a splinter festering in the minds eye. Irreverent winds unharnessed by hula hoop, Robins cavort yet stray snowflakes linger. Old man winter wields one final blast, The trigger pulled by unsteady finger. Stark charactersContinue reading “Aperture”
Into the Sun’s Embrace
Into the Sun’s Embrace One life lived in limbo, teetering on the brink. You swim against strong currents as all hope begins to sink. Stripped of all belongings and rendered colorblind; Restless nights and wasted time, the past has been unkind. You stand alone in judgment and utter truthful words. They echo in the brittleContinue reading “Into the Sun’s Embrace”
Coulée de Serrant
Coulée de Serrant I remember Coulée de Serrant the tempting taste of 1973 never-ending summer days wandering amber fields our sun warmed fingers plucking succulent grapes sticky and delicious from bounteous vines fruit of the valley’s womb. The finest vintage decanted into cut glass its bouquet awakens my senses sweet honey on my palate lucidContinue reading “Coulée de Serrant”
Shadows of My Father ~ The Poem and The Book
Shadows of My Father As a child, I walked through the park hand in hand with my father. Brimming with energy and innocence, I played a game of hide and seek, jumping into his enormous shadow. My elfin figure was gobbled up by his lumbering adumbration, stretching long across the path illuminated by the springtimeContinue reading “Shadows of My Father ~ The Poem and The Book”
Paradise
Paradise A balmy breeze ruffled the palm trees as they lay in the sun, in the sanctuary of their wooden cabana. The gentle surf tumbled and pushed forth, leaving ripple marks in the sugar soft sand. Overhead, black-headed seagulls dipped, scolded and cried out to their mates, landing on the barrier rocks searching for food. Continue reading “Paradise”
