Dilly Dill
Sprig of flavor fanned
featherly, sweet offering
of grassy savor
I had my first taste of the herb garden today, a sprig of fresh dill in sour cream with pierogies.

When I was lee and little My teen sister illustrated (and wrote dainty lines) a book for me Each image swept with Movement and bulgy A lady enjoying a day at the zoo. First and foremost I remember her solitudinal pleasure on a day at the zoo Second was the knobby knees Her knobby-kneed thick legs I will never forget And her hair bounced giddily in Golden curls just like my sister’s Then a marmalade picnic and Page after page of animals Christened in soft colored pencils My favorite was the elephant delighting in the gift of peanuts On that day I knew the elephant Was my spirit animal And it still is

A Poem for Oskar Werner
Austrian sun-catcher, wise jewel of film,
What is it to walk as well as Hamlet?
To immerse in the complex waters of
Jules, and regale us so intimately?
We are only a stone’s throw from your ship,
Caressed in the salty mist. Crossing sides.
Are you the wiser for it, and does it
Take a toll? Or extol the heart’s confides?
-AiL
Shall I wait for you,
my only love, or walk land’s
salty avenues?
A new journal means
a new beginning, pristine
clean paper, ready.
This is a new journal my daughter gave me today; she is the kindest soul and she knows I love journals ❤️ Ever since I was young I’ve had a compulsive need to scribble down plans, poetry, moods, stories, and anything else that comes to mind. Most of this stuff gets tucked away and lost, never to be seen. My silly haikus are a way for me to creatively express a fleeting feeling or thought, and this is my concerted effort to share more.

i must admit that i love renewals:
crisp sheets of virgin white paper waiting
to come to life with formations of black
curves, lines, dots, and blots of ink-filled inklings
