GOING DOWN (#10 a "going somewhere" poem)

Yes, that's me!

The airplane circles higher
And higher, until it's time
To step out: Ready, Set, Go!
At first tumbling, no knowing
Which way is up then...free fall.
Straight down, no changing my mind.

Surprisingly, I felt safe
Attached to my instructor;
The world so small beneath me.
A tug, a jolt and then...peace.
Floating quietly dream-like,
Landing on the beach below.

I CAN DANCE IF I WANT TO (#9 ____if____)

I don't care

If someone's watching

I can dance

If I want

I will dance while I'm able

Til the sun comes up.

RINGS (#1: "A New Day")

White dress
Black suit
Sunflowers
New shoes
Words spoken
Vows made
Music, cake
Champagne.

Rings exchanged,
And love...

Lots of love.

Robert Lee Brewer's first prompt was "A New Day". I thought it fitting to write a poem for my son and his new wife who just got married. It was a beautiful day: a new day for them.

MY OFFICE (#18 an "office" poem)

I stare out at the ocean
Waves crashing, seagulls crying
Hot sand in between my toes
Cool breezes hitting my face
I turn back to my writing:
A tough day at the office.

MAYBE (#17 write a hiaku)

The sun is shining

It's a spectacular day

The end of June Gloom
