Little Girl Adventures 3





















chapter 3


they found a nice little creek to cross 

where the water twisted and turned 

Bearbear saw some fish in this creek

and their bellies grumbled and churned  


so she watched nearby on a rock 

where she cheered him on

he caught one little fish in his mouth 

and then he overturned 

Little Girl Adventures 2







chapter 2 

they found a place to rest 
deep in a cave on the mountainside 
his fur keeping them both warm 
and her stories to make them laugh 

they cared not about the hour
delighted in the full moon that night 
they danced by the light of a fire 
and not once did she want to cry 

Little Girl Adventures 1




















chapter 1


she held on to Bearbear 

yes it’s time to move 

adjusted her cap

righted her mustache, and thought,

“I’ll need more tape soon.”

Rain & Sunshine










if you take a look outside 

where the rain is comin’ heavy 

that there is my soul 

it’s damn gray really

Goodness & Might



let this anger sit with me
for just a bit more
and then let my love swallow it up
with things that I adore

my heart my heart
in gentle rhythm it beats
to the waves of the sea
to cicadas on trees
and to the morning chickadee

Almost Fall



almost fall
wind in the trees
i hear you coming

the chill of the breeze


on the last warmth of summer
i sit waiting for you
just enjoying the view
closing my eyes
bending my head to feel you

What makes him say her?














you say you will always love me
that i can trust in that
please take a moment
what makes that a fact?

with everything so relative
so many variables on earth
what makes a man look at you
and say above all, it's her?

Blindsided

I asked what i did to deserve 

this man loving me 

but i didn’t ask if it would be worth it 

the day that he would leave 

i thought i knew us both 

even thought i might foresee

the best will come if i think of others

and let go of all the good it did to me 

but nothing prepared me for the emptiness 

and my deep infernal greed 

i was most human most volatile 

when you were at my feet 

when you allowed yourself to be tamed

with the utmost humility 

winning my heart in the most subtle of ways 

and then giving it back to me
