Wild Flowers♥

Welcome to my Blog. You will find poetry here. All poems are my original work unless otherwise indicated. Enjoy! Why Wild Flowers? Because... "When a wild flower grows it picks its space." -- Sheryl Crow, and: "Nobody knows a wild flower still grows by the side of the road." -- Bon Jovi

Rigors Of The Heart

I will write you
long poems
with a porcupine
quill, sign
my name
with the claw
of a black bear.

I will keep
our empty words
undigested
in the coughball
of a screech owl.

Our love
will be imperfect,
small bones
scattered under
yellow pine
needles.
