Comfortable Discomfort
—————————————————–
Going out of my comfort zone
Is not as hard when I’m not alone.
(A couplet – inspired by my adventure on the snow with patient encouraging supportive Carl)

Uncomfortable
———————————————–
I grew some today
Expanding my comfort zone
Small jump big for me
(Another haiku)

Sandy Feet
————————————
Bare feet in the sand
Isn’t life grand
Us pair
We walk hand in hand
Exploring the land
We dare
Adventurous man
Intrepid woman
Love rare
(A lai poem)

Nature’s Ornaments
——————————————————
Slimy orange tentacles emerge
After spring rains dampen the earth
Decorating junipers
With natural ornament
Fading as they dry
Back to dark brown
Dormancy
Until
Rain
(A nonet poem)

Off Season
————————————————-
The blue ridge parkway
Deserted except for us
The moon and sunset
(A haiku)

A+
Bright cool Room is filled with good intention
Blue cushioned folding tables, gauze, warm blood
Brave cheerful chatter and apprehension
(A tercet poem)

Happy place
—————————————-
Happiness is the
Place Where water meets rock and
The Ripples reflect
(A Haiku)

Snow Day
There were some idiots from PA
Who decided to brave the snow day
Making snow angels in swim suits
Warmed only by hats gloves and boots
This is how snow crazies play.
(A limerick poem)

Mystery and History
_____________________________________
Embrace trees
enchanted
Benign memories
Tangled in branches and
Spanish moss
Awareness permeates
Consciousness
Compels awakening from
Idyllic daydreaming to haunted
Relationship to
Woods
And
Roots
(A found poem inspired by “What Hangs on Trees” by Glenis Redmond and a trip to see the angel oak on John’s Island in South Carolina)

Ignoring
Negativity
To

Nothing

Into
