Early morning white
Upon the world at large
Dewdrops frozen crystalline
The first day of winter’s onslaught
Cobwebs strewn across open windows
Blowing gently in the cool breeze
Icy intricacies of spider’s webs
A wiry white trapeze
Chest full of frozen air
Invigorating and free
I feel my senses come alive
And take…
Hot chocolate and a world in white
Warm jackets and hats drew tight
Stomping feet on the ice-clad floor
Warm air escaping through opened doors
My love and I clasping gloved hands
Across the table, busily making plans
Steaming mugs and reddened cheeks
Looking forward to the coming weeks
Green…
In the depths of winter
Snowflakes fall pitter-pat
Upon my upturned face
Swirling angel acrobats
The heaven formed macramé melts
Fall onto my fluttering eyelashes
Ice cold tears of dead snowflakes
Snowmen eyes turned to ashes
Some lament summers end
When longer nights draw in
And the sunshine wanes like a frightened…
The blue waters bubble around me
As I dip once more beneath the waves
Like a sleek dolphin cutting through the ocean highway
Then atop once more to breathe
My mind running ten miles per minute
Without any order or repartee
Just a vague clamber for survival
And to wonder if anyone…
The scent of fresh flowers
Upon the summer breeze
Carry me back to my childhood home
Turning back the years
My mother tending her prized blooms
Through spring, summer, and fall
Keeping a loving home
Spreading joy to all
The smell of furnisher polish
The shine on our coffee table
Reflecting the…
The bedside light offers warm sleepless light
My phone shines blue upon my face
My fingers type fast pitter-pat
Dissipating my dreams
I glance around my bedroom, safe and warm
As the rain beats down outside
And the storm of my nightmare still reverberates
Painfully inside my head
Instagram and…
Serene, I lay beneath the sky
As clouds silently drift on by
Befriending birds that swoop below
Their happy wings seem to wave goodbye
The grass is cool beneath my head
The sun warms my skin
I smile and shield my bright blue eyes
From sunshine brighter still
Time stands…
Thoughts of mine
Swirl and twirl
From pen to ink it tapers
Bringing forth the flow,
The afterglow
Immortalized on paper
The thoughts of mine
Gathered over time
The good, the bad, and more
They clutter my mind
And prevent sleep at bedtime
But are exorcised by my ink laden…
I started writing on Medium in February 2021. This was the first time I had written creatively in years and it also marked the first time I published anything.
I enjoy writing articles, stories, and poems on subjects dear to my heart. I gained friends and support here on Medium…
Towel upon the sand
Sunshine from above
Shading my blue eyes with hands
Salty from the surf
Sand between my toes
Shorts and Tee-shirt dressed
Irish skin freckled deeply
Summer’s breath undone
Playing ball and making castles
Digging moats for the sea to rush in
Running across the rippling dunes
And on towards…
