The Snowflake Chronicles

Short April Poems (National Poetry Month)

1

Poetry a bird
singing in the Tree of Life
proclaiming sunrise.

2

Yesterday's poems
a wind blowing through palm fronds
scattering laughter.

3

Tomorrow's poems
generated by birdsong
or an unknown wind

4

Poetry is food
feeding humanity's soul
with stanza and line

5

Good Friday coffee
It is a two carafe day
A day for writing

6

Pine boughs sway at dawn
The wind carries morning's scent
Sparrows laying eggs

7

The wind blows litter
along Sunrise Avenue
pine tree boughs waving.

8

Wind and broken clouds
birds singing while children play
on Easter Sunday.

9

Overcome roadblocks
Place the roadblocks in God's hands
Work without worry

10

Wind in Las Vegas
howls through residential neighborhood
pounding on doors.

11

Wind in Las Vegas
pushes tourist along The Strip
knocks on casino doors.

12

A baby bird chirps
As wind blows the pine tree limbs
Rock-a-by baby

13

Last night's horrid sound
Gave a momentary fright
While I sit and typed

14

I need batteries
Without electricity
My only illumination is my cellphone

15

I like yogurt on my cereal,
because milk
is so uninteresting.

16

New poetry forms
stretch the mind and scatter
clouds of depression.

17

Coffee cup empty
I live alone; by myself
No one to share my coffee

18

I miss my Mother
I miss making and sharing
Breakfast and coffee

19

Coffee with Mama
Was always an adventure
Talking and laughing.

20

Meditation Monday
I woke up giving thanks for
another beautiful day.

21

My walking meditation
is a tranquil beginning
to another day.

22

On non-windy days
litter hugs the curbs remains
where people throw it.

23

Litter in the street
blows down Sunrise Avenue
on a windy day.

24

Sneeze causing wind blows
Through the Las Vegas valley
A windchill factor

25

Walked to the alley
Took the trash to the dumpster
The wind breaker helped
