temperature rising
the sun's playful banter
evening's delight
Evening's warm hues
cast a spell
of tranquility.
brewing storms
turbulent waters
troubled horizon
“Enchanted Pool” by T Watchman John-18th century
The Lie said to the Truth, "Let's take a bath together, the water is very nice.
The Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found out it really was nice. So they got naked and bathed.
But suddenly, the Lie leapt out of the water and fled, wearing the clothes of the Truth.
The Truth, furious, raced out of the pond to get her clothes back.
But the World, upon seeing the naked Truth, looked away, with anger and contempt.
Poor Truth returned to the pond and disappeared forever, hiding her shame.
Since then, the Lie runs around the world, dressed as the Truth, and society is very happy-because the world has no desire to know the naked Truth.

Poison ivy, poison oak,
who cares? Itching everywhere.
Gloves on, reading a book.
Butterfly wings
shimmering in the sunlight,
a refractile kaleidoscope
or
Refractile kaleidoscope
shimmering sunlight-
butterfly wings
evening shadow on
crisscrossing paths,
uninterrupted
a rhythmic beat
slow slow quick quick slow
sandy footprints
slow, slow, quick-quick slow
light dances on the water
footprints in the sand
a rhythmic beat
slow slow quick quick slow
lover's cadence
Yes, Flowers Have Favorites, too!
Fuzzy bees that run the world,
busy beats, their wings uncurled.
Orchard bees seek apple trees,
guided by a fragrant breeze.
Bees create a honey treat-
of lavender so pure and sweet.
Fragrant flowers spread their scent,
whiffs, and swirls in spring’s advent.
Flowers mixed with pollen threads,
blooming hues of blues and reds.
Golden pearls spread all about,
gathered by a little scout.
Tiny dancers run the world,
silent beats, their wings impearled.
Butterflies from all around
follow scents that hug the ground.
Dancing feet atop a bloom,
search for nectar to consume.
Clustered flowers, vivid hues
Yellows, reds but no blues,
Flower seeds secure their worth,
stretch their roots in fertile earth.
Coneflowers and scattered seeds-
paired best with butterfly weeds.
Nature’s treeswifts guide the world,
Hums and beats, their wings unfurled.
Hummingbirds need constant fuel.
Trumpet flowers attract this jewel.
Forward, backward, upside down.
These dashing fliers zip around.
Golden flowers, brilliant blooms
Entice birds with shiny plumes.
Blazing Star to Geranium,
Coral Bells to Delphinium.
Flower meadows, patchwork plots,
Scattered seeds in local lots.
