Heron Clan: Oct 16, 2022, Princess Hair I’d say

Princess Hair

Her hair was not,

her crowning glory.

In fact, it brought tears to her

most every day.

So, she swept it, that morning,

all to one side,

just to get it,

out of the way.

Its frail ends crinkling,

crinkling with old age,

old age and untidiness,

all swept, all swept loosly

in a one-sided long tail.

Her granddaugther,

half-way through the

age of 2,

saw

the grandmother's face

appear at the door.

She brightened, and chirped,

Oh!

her voice twinkled,

You have

Princess hair.


Coffee Kisses

Yellow tang of sun 

Steam speaks soft in chestnut sighs

Dark roasted kisses

 

I’d Say


I‘d say I miss him,

but he’s never around to miss.
I’d say I’d kiss him,
but he’s never around to kiss.
I’d say I love him,
But he’s never there to be loved. 
Not,
Available to kiss,
Nor,
Willing to be missed. 
Or,
Open to be loved. 
I’d love to miss his kisses, 
But they aren’t mine,
To miss.
