Friends

lovely bird songs everywhere

bees buzzing by

children’s laughter in the air

as the breeze floats by

dogs barking out in play

while cats nap in the sun

all reminds me

how wonderful friends are

Karen S Smith

Nature edges it's way

along the blocks

filling voids

looking for strongholds

not doubting they are there

reclaiming with joy

the space it needs

to color the world

with beauty

God has given

Nature to be

Swan

swan glided

swirls stream behind

peace abounds

children swing high

colors fill the park

Life By a Bayou

Animals Playing

sunshine streaming

through forest of green

animals playing

amongst the ferns

and wild flowers alike

 

Pet Bee

I had a pet bee

who came to my home

each day

he loved to play

in my zinnia

rolling in yellow dust

that is like gold to us

My pet bee

is fun to watch

hard at his work

making food for us

and flowers to

light our eyes

poem by Karen Smith

The Clouds

The clouds did follow us today
dropping small droplets of rain
like tiny tears of soaring birds
settling in to rest upon our cheeks
The clouds did follow us today
as we journey on towards home
to busy to stop and wonder
just seeking comfort and ease
The clouds did follow us today
