Father’s Day | Picture Perfect
Father’s Day | Picture Perfect
I share this sonnet and photos to my own father for Father’s Day. Feel free to use the sonnet as a gift to your Dad as well (just change the last name in line eleven and gather your own snapshots)…
For a formal portrait of you and me
I looked through many photographs
The perfect picture I did not see
but it seems we’ve had lots of laughs
For so many things, I thank you Dad
with a gratitude beyond measure
Of all the advice you ever had
the “sense of humor” one I treasure
It helps me to go that extra mile
Even when I’m in a lousy mood
A simple flash of the Assunto smile
and my disposition is renewed
Enjoy these snapshots from along the way
and have a TERRIFIC Father’s Day!
A Gift of Love | Any Lengths
A Gift of Love | Any Lengths
For “Locks Of Love” this sonnet is written
to celebrate my shortest haircut ever
a look with which I am totally smitten
I am amazed at how much I could sever!
Having made a donation two times before
but growing enough to keep a shoulder length
such a drastic change no one could ignore
I feared [...]
Truth is True
Truth is True
I know the Truth about you
though you may be in denial
you need not build a case
for you are not on trial
I know the Truth about you
and the pain you feel inside
fighting to maintain illusion
but you can no longer hide
Because I know the Truth
and the way that I can tell
is having been there myself
I’ve [...]
For My Husband on Christmas
Here’s my Christmas Poem to my husband, Jim. Feel free to edit and give it to the Love of your life this Christmas.
For My Husband on Christmas
To express my love this Christmas Day
I’m going to risk sounding corny and cliche
You are my very own Bethlehem Star
I want to thank you for all that you are
You [...]

Personal Verse for Polar Bears
Personal Verse for Polar Bears
When you go to vote on Election Day
think of the Northern Lights
The miracle of their colors,
when caught within our sight,
And the great white bears beneath them,
struggling to stay alive
Even in normal conditions,
it is difficult for them to survive.

What conditions are abnormal?
A question you might ask.
It is a condition that is global.

Hope | Change
In the race to tomorrow
today is the start
what is clear to our eyes
may not be to our heart
so the focus is now
here in this moment
time is like snowflakes
nothing is permanent.

Ode to my Bro
He claims I’ve never written him one
so this poem is for my brother
Mom said when no [...]
