Coal Miner's Baby (Magpietales)

Coal miner's baby
in the shadow from the hills
filled with Black Diamonds!

All smudged from head to toe
from ever present carbon
as steam rises from the hills.

Dame waits patiently
Safe return of man from the hills
filled with Black Diamonds?

Mondays Child #44 - Pink Pixie Patty


Illustration: Cicely Mary Barker
 
Pink Pixie Patty
Feet planted on the Chive
Watches mister Bumblebee
Feeling Quite Alive

Pink Pixie Patty
From flower to flower flies
Spreading pollen here and there
Traveling through the skies

Pink Pixie Patty
Flitters just the same
Speading magic pixie dust
With no particular aim

Pink Pixie Patty
Wings start again to beat
Heading out again today
There are others yet to meet.

What Lies Beneath (OSS)


Photo by Rosa Frei
What lies beneath
the veil of black?
What secrets does
it’s folds hold back?

Eyes show doubt
and lack of trust
Such sadness at
a world unjust.

Or is the face
just a worn down mask
Weathered by the blistering
sand blasting task

Nature's Innocence - Haiku Heights #41


Nature’s Innocence

Motherhood Nestled In Snow

Miracle Of Life

The Borders of My Life (For OSI)

The Borders of My Life
Are Positive In Some Respect
The Provide Me With A Structure
Allow Me To Know What To Expect

The Borders of My Life
Can Be Negative I Know
They Fence Me In Inside Myself
Not Allowing Me To Grow

The Borders of My Life
I Must Choose Which To Allow
Knowing Those To Follow
The Others To Disavow
