It’s April

But we still have poinsettias,
One from 2011
One from 2012
Three from 2013
Some scrawny—all still scarlet, crimson, glowing RED.

Not Being Perfect | Regina Puckett
My friend Regina posted this on Facebook today. It touched my heart and I wanted to share it here.
Not Being Perfect
Regina Puckett
I can dance, play drums, run fast, write or sing
But the world will never know what I can bring
Because I stutter, I’m too short, tall, skinny, or fat
How could I show the inner me with any of that?
My outside covering hides the true beauty within
Because in this world not being perfect is a sin

Green Anole
How does a lizard go along a chain-link fence?
He weaves himself in and out.
Robins and Catbirds
Shh, take a glimpse at their underwear when they’re bathing.
Robins wear white fluffy panties. Catbirds wear scarlet.

Bright yellow cosmos growing everywhere, add purples and whites.

Four sandhill cranes come to dance for us on Thanksgiving Day
The Darkness
In the darkest night, I sing His song to reveal His light.
Small Golden Cloud
Flitters of tiny dragonflies glinting like gilt flakes in the sunlight.

Full of mood knobbly, and bulbous

Yard with weeds, always yelling what it needs.

Tentacles with suction cups reaching out from dark cave.

Brown bugs live, work, and sleep in cactus bud.
Rain
Clatters on porch roof like a tambourine.
After Rain
Drop diamonds reflect shimmering flowers
Dragonfly
Backpedals in air, hovers, and then settles still, facing silence.
Ocean
Waves shish shells to shore then take them back to sea.
Two by Two
Two green plants, two sparrows, two ants.
Sunday Morning Sprinkler
Sprit, sprit, singing while diamonds sparkle on leaves.

Cat lies on my chest, purring.
