I want to extend a warm welcome to this poem home.
Enjoy your visit and I hope this will be a source of inspiration and encouragement.
Some of my roles include that of mother, grandmother and kindergarten educator (ret.).
Having composed songs for young children throughout my 27 years in the classroom,
I moved more into poetry following that period.
Please feel welcome to share these offerings with others as well.

Song in Lime

A cooling breeze lightly touched
the lime-green wings of a passing bird,
sending it on to feather-stroke ones who know its song,
then fanning them with whiffs of kindly thoughts
and nesting them in shadowed coverlets
as sun gold reigns supreme.
