Priestess of the emerald wood
Shrouded in nature’s mystery
Branches reach to seek and find
A gentle beauty, strong and free
Oracle of Life, divine
Ageless in her sunlit stance
Graceful limbs intertwined
Mesmerizing at a glance
Leaves of green do bow and sway
In rhythmic symmetry
She breathes her soul into the day
With the beautiful splendor of a tree

I shall hide
Behind this tree
And watch this
Gentle majesty
Drink the water
Standing there
Casting an aura
In moonlight’s air
Beautiful creature
Majestic and free
I behold from afar
In silent reverie

I guess it’s time, once again
To write another letter
And try to explain to WordPress
That change isn’t always better
It was great when we could see
The posts our readers liked
When clicking on the bell
I already know my blog name
C’mon WordPress, what the hell?
And get it together with Facebook
So sharing works the right way
I’m tired of having to battle you two
I hope you see it, my way
Though I can cut Sir Facebook
A little bit of slack
His service is free, at least to me
So I tolerate the flack
But not when it comes to WordPress
We have a right to know
When changes that don’t
Make any sense
In our faces, you will throw
The reader’s still a jumble
When poetry is shared
Please dear WordPress
Fix this mess
And show us that you care
I guess that’s all I’ll say for now
I’m hoping that you’ll see
How simple an announcement
About the changes
Can truly be
Just pop it in an email
And send it on its way
So we can be prepared
Some how
To face a WordPress day

Like a moth to a flame
I am drawn to you
Knowing if I get too close
You will burn me
Yet I fly ever closer
Unafraid to feel the fire

Blue skies overshadowed
with grey puffs, a warning
as the sunlight fades
Clouds burst and thunder claps, as
lightning brightens the darkness
and disappears again
Streets become pools
of unswimmable water,
the current carrying the days travels
down a hollow, rushing endlessly
toward the abyss
Water assaults your face
as you fight your umbrella
and the winds that threaten to take you
in a Mary Poppins kind of way
And then it’s gone, leaving
the air heavy with the scent
of rain….
