Caterpillar, you

Are stronger than you think. Soon

You will spread your wings.

Poem: Thunder

A Haiku

Rumble and roll are

Words we use to try to calm

The sky as it screams.

Poem: The Sound of Sleeplessness

The whirring of a ceiling fan

Revolving at full speed

Is the sound of sleeplessness

That plays in place of dreams.

A Haiku

A busy bee and

A sleepy me - neither of

Us can fall asleep.

Poem: Waiting for the Rain

I sat waiting for the rain to come

Because the rumbling of thunder

Seemed to come from just beyond

My door; I expected the darkness

Of the sky to produce some kind

Of downpour, but none came.

I sat waiting for the rain to come

And wash away my expectations that

The sky would stay so dauntingly gray;

That life would be this way until

A wave of relief flooded it; that I

Would continue to spend my days

Like this, waiting for the rain.

Poem: Globe

The little globe on my desk

Spins tales for me of the city where we met –

And where you said you loved me

For the first time with your easy summer smile –

But as I twirl it with my finger, so smoothly,

Like you had me wrapped around yours,

I feel a sort of relief in knowing

That I don't wonder where you are

And what you’re doing anymore.
