Thanks! I'm glad you like them. Writing for you is such a joy because the feedback is always sweet.
This was also a good way to get stuff off my chest without flaming down the whole discussion group; thanks for the inspiration.
Shawn

I was going to let this go, but the muse demanded I throw one more into
the hopper.

Spirit of Liberty
Freedom is dear, too precious to be shackled to the accountants
procrustean bed
Or carved to fit into green eye shades.
She spurns bean counters and scoffs at the worshippers of efficiency.
She spreads her wings going where she will.

Shawn... again wonderful! The images in this piece are stunning... now
one more from me just to show that even I can take these in an unexpected
direction... when I posted this at a site I belong to many wondered who
had
gotten my dander up... my honest answer? Myself.. this is totally
introspective.
Nakedness
how often do we wear the garb
of easy compromise, the cloak of
pretended indifference, the gray
shroud of willing omission,
or the gauzy veil masking
white-stained dishonesty...
simply because we fear
the nakedness that comes
when accepting absolute truth

Epiphany
Listening to Zenna's People stories I'm filled with wonder.
The God of light year strides condescends to me.
Speaking deep within where the soul's code runs
Commanding divine words
Don't be normal, be mine.
And the presence fills the air.

I had to smile here because my son could have written this yesterday.
Not
sure how many times he called saying how boring it was and he was just
looking for something to do. He does security and would have given his
eye
teeth to be on camera duty. This is great..and as you see it can be
about
anything... amazing how poetic we can get about those things we do not
think
of as poetic... you said it best.. seeking, questing, reaching.. well
done!

A slow day at the office
Wishing I were busy, this respite is not welcome,
Seeking usefulness, the day drags on.
Seeking, questing, reaching for purpose
A reason for being, a reason for being here now.
But this to will pass, and soon, I will seek rest.

Thank you Shawn! I rather like this one myself.. as I said I did
struggle
at first because I approached it in the wrong way but I found what I
wanted to say finally..

The other night I was sort of challenged to write a 40 word poem about
'laughter'. I can't remember who exactly issued the challenge and I
do
apologize for that. I did try.. and to be honest I was almost stumped
at
first.
But here is what I came up with... very simply said but quite
introspective
if I am being honest.
Laughter
I tuck them away,
each giggle and almost
unheard chuckle, every belly
jiggle and each Jello guffaw,
every snort and snicker,
and whoosh of plucked tissues
to absorb merriment's tears...
because sometimes what I need
most to remember is... laughter.
