Just My Bike And Me

Wetlands passing by
the waterbirds feed
it’s a very good day
on San Francisco Bay.

To be out of the city
yet see it ‘cross the bay
even foggy days
it’s there on display.

Wind in my hair
just a gentle breeze
sun hot on my back
as I follow the bike track.

The sharp salt smell
clicking of the gears
the songbirds sing
colors on the wing.

Drifting down the trail
I feel like I’m flying
at peace so quietly
just my bike and me.

Shared with Poets United.

Stars And Stripes

Stars And Stripes

All wrapped up
in bright red stripes
against a navy sky
with stars in her eyes.

Unfurling herself
naked to the winds
and oh, what a view!
Red, white and blue.

Happy Memorial Day! Summer starts soon.

I rest on a bench
feeding the hungry pigeons
they never get full

wind sculpting the clouds
wind playing in the grasses
something in my eye

noon sun shimmers
a bayside Kodachrome moment
spare the air lunch hour

Me On Muse

I can’t escape my muse
it thrives on inspiration
it gobbles forms for fun
it’s in my perspiration.

If I don’t write with peers
I settle for the latter
my muse fulfills the need
it’s all that really matters.

And when there is no reason
I can always find the rhyme
shore it up and make it clever
shine it up and call it mine.

summer approaches
getting into the swing of things
the bathing suit fits
