Three for Wednesday

Have faith in the night—
it will not beat you, break you,
and then forsake you.

~~ ~~ ~~

If I were a gift,
I would not pressure myself
to dance or dazzle.

~~ ~~ ~~

To trade your language
for sounds that have no substance—
babbling to apples!

cool set….espec. ‘have faith in the night’ (sounds like a Bruce Springsteen song!) and, yes, I do babble at times, when my meds haven’t yet kicked in!!

There’s a lot of apple-babbling going on these days…

You are the master of haiku… I’ve read so many of your poems and that is the conclusion I’ve drawn thus far. Brilliant writing!

each is beautifully crafted. I find myself drawn to the first and yet the second tickles my thoughts, while the third…well really what can I say…who wouldn’t wish to babble with apples.
