make no promises
if you love me
please don’t say
only the things
I want to hear
my heart knows
that is not love
no one sees her
brokenness, for she
is always smiling
but the blush on
her cheeks gives
her dark secret away
there’s a hint
of spring in the
cool mist after it
rains…a symphony
of sweetness on
the wind, greening
I fall out of
harmony with my
beautiful wild nature
when I stop
listening to the wind

congress in session
a trio of cowbirds perch aloft, screaming
on skeletal limbs of a wintering elm
surveying the work of more diligent
nesters while scheming a plan
to evict them come spring

greying starless nights
cool melancholy musings
raindrops on pavement

snowy morning
crystalline frosted clusters
floating down, down, down
tree limbs drooping
hush a-bye green
winter lingering

Time for another Cherita…it’s snowing on my little speck of earth this morning.
I heard a bird’s
sweet song, happy
for winter’s warmth
out of season, and there
were blossoms blooming…
but it is too soon
frost is coming
under the starry night
sky it’s easy to believe
in dreams, making
promises that we
won’t keep…then
morning comes
I am just a
fool who lingers
a bit too long
in my head
bleeding poetry with
each heart throb
you could shine like
a diamond crushed
into a thousand
tiny bits, but
you are afraid
of flying
~kat
like mercury colliding...
