Sweet, you carry the world
In your scent
Tongues probe . . . more

I'm looking for my humor
Mayhaps it's just asleep

Cardinal lights at the feeder
Blazing contrast to
White snow
In evergreen
Puffed up in this cold
Black mask hides watchful eyes
He muches, then flies off
Makes way for snowbirds who

I don't belong here. This society is foreign to me. I was brought up to be nice. To esteem people over money. I consider my actions; how they'll possibly affect others. . . . more

The bright sun catches each facet
Brilliant glitter casting
Rainbows into my eyes
