A Few Poems in Seize the Poem Anthology

     Here are the poems accepted by Caroline Skanne for the Seize the Poem Anthology. It was sometime in March that she asked me if she could include this in her project. So far, I haven't heard any publication....

a white butterfly
carries my prayer . . .
cancer remission

each moment with you sea asters

___________________________

I hold my breath
between these words
I long to hear
the soft, hushed sound
of a violin

watching
a seagull glide against
the overcast sky . . .
I forget to tell the driver
to turn right

Doodlefest (Day 2-10)

(Click the headings to see doodle of Aubrie Cox on Yay Words!)

I Doodle, You 'Ku - 2

focusing on a tree

a squirrel poses

for the camera

I Doodle, You 'Ku - 3

the taste of coffee

so many words

slip away

I Doodle, You 'Ku - 4

taking me home

the shadows

of a dragonfly

I Doodle, You 'Ku - 5

cradling my heart

a slice of grandma's

apple pie

I Doodle, You 'Ku - 6

missing petals--

on the photo

her toothless smile

I Doodle, You 'Ku - 7

the song

in my prayer...

candle flame

I Doodle, You 'Ku - 8

writer's block

searching for a haiku

to unclip my wings

I Doodle, You 'Ku - 9

heart emoticons

making me blush

cyber love

I Doodle, You 'Ku - 10

   crushed petals--
