    in Fear Poems

    I heard her ask "Who are you then
    Are you the how the where and when;
    Are you the well of all my tears
    Who took the one who held me dear;

  • Wind And Friends

    • Published: May 2, 2025

    in Earth Poems

    I'll capture the wind and barter a peace, upon a most certain conditioned release
    Then summon the gods to ask Mother Nature, O why her rogue son is lacking her nurture?
    They'll tell her most stern as matter of fact, her wanton neglect had forced me to act
    Her anarchic heir and friends that he keeps, make oceans a tempest while willow trees weep

  • An Ocean Birth

    • Published: April 11, 2025

    in Ocean Poems

    Bestir in me an ocean birth where starfish twinkle bright in mirth
    And crooner whales who fancy chance invite the mermaids out to dance
    Where seahorses number in their scores will pull my coral carriage fore
    And maiden sea-nymphs take my hand and set me on a coral stand

    • Published: April 7, 2025

    in Rhyming Poems

    Who else but Clover Boo
    Could make her daddy swoon and woo
    And get him in the kitchen too
    Where all her treats lie there in view

Very nice Ann! Beautifully written and I can tell you enjoy your garden. May is my favorite month of the year. Everything that appeared old is young again.

I lost my wife in 2015 unexpectedly. She lingered for a week and then I had to make a hard decision. It is really an indescribable feeling and I have never found a word suitable to describe it. Nothing is the same after, even the most fundamental daily activities can seem pointless. Your poem captures some of these feelings in me very well.
