Woman Work

I've got the children to tend
The clothes to mend
The floor to mop
The food to shop
Then the chicken to fry
The baby to dry
I got company to feed
The garden to weed
I've got the shirts to press
The tots to dress
The cane to be cut
I gotta clean up this hut
Then see about the sick
And the cotton to pick.

Shine on me, sunshine
Rain on me, rain
Fall softly, dewdrops
And cool my brow again.

Storm, blow me from here
With your fiercest wind
Let me float across the sky
'Til I can rest again.

Fall gently, snowflakes
Cover me with white
Cold icy kisses and
Let me rest tonight.

Sun, rain, curving sky
Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
Star shine, moon glow
You're all that I can call my own

So Much Depends Upon

so much depends
upon

the sound of
music

singing so
bright

with heart and soul
singers.

Forever

I make the next choice in life known,

Sitting as a rock on a sea of softness.

Precious substance; comely apparel

Given friend to friend.

Round as eternity

Never ending.

Reflection

Dreaming magic as time goes by

Dance tango great double date

Hollywood party Feel the vibe!

Heaven on earth tonight

Life of the party spotlight

Cool perfectly happy masquerade!

Elegant electric! Exotic effects

Royal celestial glowing paradise

Anticipation dual personalities uptown

Picture pinstripes steppin' out

Remember times like these

Hangin' with the gang

High school memories wondrous memories

Treasure crazy fun styles

Charming best times

Golden Age

Two Tone Poem

Half of me is light sunshine yellow,

Vivid vibes of very bright rays.
Fun as a new summer's day
Relaxed among the daffodils.
Glowing so bright you can't open your eyes,
And as zesty as a fresh-squeezed lemon.
The rest of me is deep ocean blue,
Deeper than a flowing river.
Calm as the ocean after a storm,
Waves slowly rolling through my fingertips.
Swish. Swish.
Two opposite ideas, all combined,

Making me.
