Summer of Love
For this poem, a spiritual leader I follow challenged everyone to write a Summer Solstice poem that included vulgarity. I have been writing poetry for 30 years and found this task a little daunting but I finally reached an emotional state in which I found this possible.
Summer is a time of love
So why are you fucking with hate!
Put down the damned lies and
Your fucking weapons before it’s too late...

Anger
Understanding the past
Anger is a mask
Contracts of anger
Are burned to their embers
The intent behind them
Now on the mend
The pain that cut to the bone
No longer has a home

Mindy's Mantra
I am Love, Strength, energy, and joy.
I love those I observe, and employ
Positivity in my thoughts and actions.
My future is filled with my passions.

A Writing Space
(This was written as an English assignment for my degree.)
I close my eyes and see a place
Green all around, wind in my face
Gentle breeze kissing my hair so soft
Sun so bright, in the sky aloft
Waves kiss the sand tide begins to turn
White capped waves, watch the water churn
Gulls on wing call to one another
On high, each responds to the other
No other sound, no people here
Inner thoughts whisper in my ear.
Green all around, wind in my face
Gentle breeze kissing my hair so soft
Sun so bright, in the sky aloft
Waves kiss the sand tide begins to turn
White capped waves, watch the water churn
Gulls on wing call to one another
On high, each responds to the other
No other sound, no people here
Inner thoughts whisper in my ear.
Demon Comes at Night
(This was written as an English assignment for my degree.)
New home, freshly moved in and clean
Someone was always watching at night
Though the man could not be seen
The dark back yard filled with fright

Baby Girl

Butt high in the air
In slumber softly snoring
Cute feet, what a pair
Watch you sleep, never boring
