Standing Colour Blind at the Label Machine


What colour is my closet door?

Is it Velvet Pink or Steel Blue?

Which way does is swing?

Does it fold like soft curtains or slam in and out?

What's inside my closet?

Ahhh, see that is the important question.

It matters,

not what colour the door is to my closet

or which way it swings,

but what you see

when the door BURSTS open.

Song of Katydid


Someone asked about you

again today. He said

he missed the twinkling stars

set in the deep brown Cosmos

or your always-laughing eyes.

He said, "You know the one

who dances when she makes

my juice and twirls around,

her black locks flipping gayly

as she sings,'Have a nice day!' "

 

"Of course", I smile and say,

"Indeed I know the girl.

She flew away to live

her dreams, our Katie did.

She's the lucky one

who heard her calling and

had the guts to answer."
