“He who draws noble delights
from sentiments of poetry
is a true poet,
though he has never written
a line in all his life.”

mother cultivated the beautiful iris
from Spanish iris translates to mean rainbow
exquisite colors which remain nameless
captured in the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh
pleasurable emotions tied to beauty
all creation is in perfect balance
except for the crazy who are a little fruity
and those who went down the hole with Alice
the birds and the bees, nature’s splendor
the males awesome colors to attract a mate
the sitting female camouflaged to fool the predator
except for the nerd who can’t get a date
we guess the exception is there to keep the balance
a unique place for the wanna be, the pretender
what God has provided in normals absence
in a mother’s heart everyone is a contender

“There is
a crack
in everything.
That’s how
the light
gets in.”

light
denotes love
God’s great creation
ideas that really matter
bright

howling wind blows east
snow creates whiteout blizzard
life is put on hold

Poem:

there once was a lady from Minneapolis
her credo in life was happiness
she began each morning with a prayer to God
this wondrous universe she would applaud
a great big smile she always wore
for her being kind was never a chore
her every action showed unconditional love
sharing the graces she received from above
her daily focus was to do God’s will
never to make a mountain out of a molehill
for the sick and suffering she was patient
never took things for granted, was never complacent
for the stupid and ignorant she was tolerant
she was very very proud to be independent
for the misguided she was forgiving
content she was with her standard of living
each day ended with a prayer of gratitude
for being seen and not being viewed
