SLICES OF MY LIFE
In a journal on my table
Beside my favorite pen
You will find revealing verses
Where only lines had been
I’ve filled the pages with the muse
That touches deep inside
And you can read what’s written there
When the book is opened wide
There is verse about my children
And some about my mate
There are even [...]

That tired old scarecrow

Just beyond my pristine lawn
So I enjoy their show
There is lupine and pink primrose
And beautiful shooting stars
There are daisies by the dozens
I place in old fruit jars

HER GARDEN
Work in her garden every day
To her was just like child’s play
Shallow rows to hold the seed
Paper pads on which she kneed
Spade and shovel by her side
A length of string as her guide
Flats of flowers, packs of seeds
And things to battle all the weeds
She loved the smell of [...]
