White Rose and poem

Sunday, May 29, 2022

Photo by Wayne Pridemore

Delicate as the summer breeze
pearly white of royal genes
a queen within the garden green
the blooming of the white rose

Photo: Poem - The Brant goose's mind wandered

The Brant goose reflected on the poem by Wallace Dean LaBenne

Exercise on treadmills
is good for a heart pace:
A monotonous routine
such as running in place.
It will get you nowhere like a wild-goose chase.

Who has seen the wind?

Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you.
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

--Who Has Seen the Wind?
Christina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)

From the quick pinions of the hummingbird "

April is National Poetry Writing Month

Friday, April 2, 2021

The Cup of Tea by Mary Cassat
From the NaPoWriMo  website
By Cynthia Sheridan

National Poetry Writing Month (also known as NaPoWriMo) is a creative writing project held annually in April in which participants attempt to write a poem each day for one month.

Maureen Thorson, a poet and publisher, developed the project in 2003 using her on-line blog. 

She started by listing the participating poets and has continued to run the project in April of every year. 

Anyone can join the project; you need a website to post your work at NaPoWriMo. However, there are other ways to post- such as Facebook and Twitter.

The prompt for a dry run on March 31 was writing about a picture from NY Metropolitan Museum of Art (prompts are posted on NaPoWriMo website).




The Cup of Tea

Looking forward to that cup of tea

With a little visit, just you and me

Strictly girl talk and catching up.

No one around to interrupt

Heads together; hearts are too.

Dear old friends- just me and you.

Bullish bunny looking for a fight -- or debonair bunny

Sunday, August 9, 2020

Bullish bull bunny says Wayne Pridemore, photographer

Wayne Pridemore and Jean Bryant are teaming up - but they couldn't agree on this bunny!

Jean Bryant says he's debonair

He looks so very handsome
He looks so very cute
He looks so very debonair
Dressed in his stylish suit

At first I thought that I did see
A chunk out of his ear
But later photos proved me wrong
And it is very clear

He is not a bull fellow
He shows great self restraint
He'll simply turn and hop away
A BULLY that he ain't

LETTUCE respectfully disagree

poem by Jean Bryant

Bunny says - you guys argue too much - I'm leaving

Post rains and in the full sun
Breathe deep and exhale

Poem: It's raining!

Tuesday, July 9, 2019

It’s raining!
I love the sound on the roof
The smell of the air 
Not breathing in dust
And...
I don’t have to water the pots on the deck!

October Yard Art


Dancers swirling, sheets un-furling, no reason for fear 

Faces smiling, all the whiling, Hallows’ Eve is near

Embers sizzle, no rain drizzle, air is cold and clear

Ghostly prancing, gaily dancing, bony feet appear

Such pretending, fun unending, favorite time of year
