Trapped Bear
Trapped bear, head inside a honeypot
Very cute, but wise, he is not
So who will help him free his head
A friend, perhaps who is better read?

Dead
Brittle stalks reaching toward the warming sun
Reaching up though apparently long dead
Look again and see life newly begun
Someday soon these limp leaves will gaily spread
And reach toward their neighbor to be one
Awaiting next burst of life from garden bed
In this season we find hope, chance to see
Not all things are as they appear to be

Until the Story Ends
We never forget beginnings
They haunt us while we sleep
But we count them as our winnings
These memories we keep
For voices whisper to us,
“Every story must end.”
But we don’t have to fuss
For if we fight and love and pray
Our love story can continue
Beyond our earthly last day
This story is written by me and you
So let’s not let it end

A Beginning
Open here, where the first page starts
Promising love and broken hearts
In the moment, the end is clear
Two will fall, hold each other dear
But even now, readers feel fear
As characters accept parts
An Ending
The last page closes softly
Reader sets the book aside
Wondering, “Is this just the first?”
Somewhere the author sighs crossly
With nothing more to hide
Because completion is the worst
No author wants the tale to end
The cessation of glorious ride
That slaked a creative thirst
Until book said to this friend,
“Stop! There!”
I know. I know. Partial week. Short post.
And that concludes our last foray into poetry together…
Until I am inspired again. I hope you read something you liked. Please feel free to send accolades and gift cards to Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
