September trees
how lovely

subtle whisper
of what was
and what will be

beginning to feel
the autumn wind

though born here
she has not returned with us;
how sad now, to see
the little pine trees
that have grown in my garden

The weather perfect for
a drive around the reservoir

the bees find strong flowers
after days of rain

geese come from the north rising
higher, settling south of the dam

and all that rain
still couldn’t fill the basin,
a bear far down by the water’s edge,
almost impossibly small

writing your name
in the dust on my pickup . . .
these country roads

after the rain
over the mountain
an autumn rainbow

en pointe in soho
waiting for an uptown train
toes begging mercy

Your mind is a powerful thing.
When you filter it with positive thoughts
Your life will start to change.

Thrilled to announce my #micropoetry book 'wildflowers' abt the stories of #refugee mothers & children. Inspired by the life of a British #migrant Afzal Khan @Afzal4Gorton this collection reflects on how these thought-provoking stories can be turned into great successes...1/3

defiled miles
up to shore

the waves
slide silent
crash at war

grind sands to
silt at sea past dusk

cadence of spoken storms.
