Summer Travels

rule for every trip:
use your legs and eyes to see,
find the water source
enjoy local food
talk to whoever talks back
drink in river views

Arts for Hearts

not quite summer yet
with a few pretty petals
art therapy starts
the art museum 
always offers a new view
of unspoken words

Not As High As the Pole

a family visit
Tennesseans do Boulder
raging creek and all

About to Bloom

every spring, we wait
for magenta peonies
to make their heart mark
