I arrived in this world
A shooting star
Trailing dreams
And magic in my wake

Shooting Star

Poems I have written and shared on Instagram.
December First
Autumn prepares to make its bow
As December takes the stage
With evergreen and holly crown
And bonfires ablaze
The cloak of winter deep and white
With whispered grace arrives
While all good folks abide long nights
As snow falls on the pines
Let not the darkness weight your brow
Do light your lamps ablaze
For soon the Solstice will arrive
To return the longer days

Autumn Had Come
Gold, yellow, red
A carpet of leaves
It crunched beneath their feet
As they played in the light of the golden afternoon
Cheeks rosey and hair wild
Autumn had come

California Christmas: a weird love poem
It's a California Christmas
Where it's 70 degrees
And the palm trees are a swayin'
In the California breeze
The desert winds are blowin'
And the state is burning down
But we take some comfort knowin'
Santa's still comin' to town
The mountain tops are barren
Of familiar Sierra snow
'Cause climate change is ragin'
Changin' the world we know
So on this Cali Christmas
Hold your loved ones tight
Remember what's important
As you live your Cali life
The fog is ever faithful
The sequoias still stand tall
On this California Christmas
Prayin' "Bless us one and all."
