all soul's celebration.....the Godfather sews an alligator suit

a ticking clock at the altar.....Easter lilies

Las Vegas night.....'Time for Love' in lime green neon

on her Sunday hat     octopus arms around the emerald

snuggled in mother's lap     again she reads Dr. Seuss

wishing well --      old pennies and  smiling kids

angry mosquito season     his marvel comic worth big bucks!

incredible hulk tattoo     on a nurse's pregnant tummy

airport runway     flames from the Art Arfons' dragster

eating mint-choclate chip at the broken stoplight

Christmas stocking     gumby twisted into a pretzel shape

the dogwood branch     snapped by a telephone wire

Reflecting Rainbow: (the reflection can be reversed with purple starting)
consists of 12 links red,orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, purple, blue,
green, yellow, orange, red.

sound-bath     ruby tuesday rolls over his tongue between his lips
         
slices of nectarine     the cool sweet juice on his fingers
                           
gracefully lifting her saffron sari over its reflection     London drizzle
       
skipping stones     leaves of the conifers ripple on the pond 
                           
wave after wave     the spectrum of emotion from that rent azure sky
    
twilight approaching     clouds cast deeper violet shadows
                      
blowing off the dust     lifting the lid     amethyst engagement ring
            
the lapis lazuli rosary from her great aunt     a promise of heaven
 
leap in the dark     cat's eyes stare through the kitchen window
                
the agony of more heat     the ecstasy of another pale gold beer
                      
sunset     two amber butterflies close their wings
                                  
moonrise     the deep blush on her cheeks after their kiss
