Waves Rewritten By Emily Dickinson Here is an old poem I wrote years ago the original one I wrote: On a gentle breeze Throughout the day, The waves can take Your breath away! They come with Hurtling bound of force To slosh against The rocky turf. Never forgetting What they took. Here it is rewritten if it was by Emily Dickinson A Breeze—guides the Sea—

Stitching the Broken Back Together I mend spines the way some mend hearts— Slowly, with thread, and a faith in the fold. Bringing a page and another back together Till all sits cozy and tight again. Glue that smells faintly of almonds, A press holding the book steady As glue settles on the spine and pages. The leather softening under warm hands, Its tired corners learning to trust my touch.

I Meant To… I meant to call you the other day but instead I picked up the banana peeling it to get an answer. I meant to make a grocery list but instead I drew a map of the supermarket as if it were an undiscovered kingdom. I meant to say good morning, but instead I told a stranger I love you…

Under the Lamppost’s Light Of Narnia I step through the wardrobe -- Find myself in a snowy forest Lit by a lonely lamppost. In its bathing light, Lucy is telling Mr. Tumnus about her world. He nervously wringing his hands, His face torn between kindness and fear of the White Witch. I know, what is about to do, I tell him that tyrants always fall, That history remembers those who choose…

Carnations You have been cultivated for over two thousand years, a quiet constant in bouquets and arrangements, from Valentine’s Day declarations to the soft vows of weddings. Your petals hold an entire pastel palette— pinks, whites, reds and purples each shade a small story all its own folded into each of their ruffles. You gather close in vases, shoulder to shoulder,

When History Writes Back In An Email I received your email today, haphazardly typed out, from someone not used to using a computer and keyboard. The subject line was simple — My Esteemed Friend, as though the years between us were nothing more than dust brushed from a coat. You wrote in a steady, deliberate voice I’ve only ever heard in your speeches, each sentence carrying the weight…

Ode to My Lord of the Rings Set O treasured tomes, paperback bound in illustrated box set, snugged tightly inside, unwrapped, birthday present gift, in my hands, eyes a light to read the whole tale. You were not just books— you were a doorway, a hush before adventure, the excitement to open the gateway and the scent of new pages waiting to be breathed open. Your colored spines stood proud,

High School Band Musical notes humming from band room We practiced our scales, learning songs for concerts, memorizing notes for next halftime show. As one musical voice our eyes watch the baton moving to and fro, our fingers press keys, blow through horns, beat drums watching the conductor who wielded a baton till the final note. Friday night we march out in sync…

My First Memory of Librarians, A carpeted room, rows of books line many shelves, so many in a child's wonder. A children's area at one end, small chairs dot the space, rug of a child imagination sown on with bright colors. A librarian, helps me find my first book, guides me to the rug, I sit cross-legged looking at the pictures, reading the easy words upon the page.
