I Saw

May 6, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I saw a chipmunk sleeping lazily
Enjoying the day
Quietly.

I saw a dog splashing
Playing in the water
All alone.

I saw a deer eat seeds
From my deck
Secretly.

I saw a tree fall
Smashing all.

I saw ants marching across sand
With a leaf in their mouth
They ran.

I saw a dog cry
Mourning the loss of one
Who’d died.

I saw a tree upside down
How could this be?

I saw a bumblebee sip nectar
Quietly.

I saw a fawn cry
Plaintively.

I saw a stingray fly
Majestically.

I saw a crocodile up close
So scary.

I saw life abound
But none, not a soul, no one
Saw me around.

Hold The Precious Close

April 29, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Hold the precious close
Make no mistake
The heart is needed
To cover all the hurts
That
The silly head
May make.

Pathetic And Sad

April 22, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Pathetic and sad
He goes forth
The essence of bad.

No one curtails
No one dare tell
The evil one
He is going to wither
In hell.

He doesn’t know
It doesn’t have to be so
He could be happy
And glad.

All that’s required
Is to be open, generous
Considerate and mostly
Not angry, bitter
Or sad.
~ Patrice

My Deepest Sympathies

April 8, 2022

This may have been written after a terrible tragedy in 2018 but my thoughts and prayers are the same now for the Ukrainian people who have suffered so terribly much.

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

My Deepest Sympathies to the families, friends
All who know victims in yesterday’s horrific tragedy
My prayers go out to you
To the ones whose lives were brutally cut short
Those injured

For no reason.

No sane reason.

You are in my thoughts, my words, my prayers and my heart. ❤
~ Patrice

Trying To Make

April 1, 2022

Aww yes, still true today

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Trying to make
All my work complete

Make things tidy
Tidy and neat

Exhaustive work
Mental trying times

When and where
Did I get so much

So much to do
In so little time?
~ Patrice

Clouds Part, Sun Rises

March 25, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Clouds part, sun rises
Filling all hearts
With peace
Warmth and gratitude.

Joy comes to mind
As day winds down
Folding into night
Star studded.

Holding tight
Precious souls
In their solitary walk
Through life.
~ Patrice

I’m Not Sure

March 18, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I’m not sure what I’ll write
Something about yesterday
Maybe something
That will occur tonight.

No rules in place
No sayings to follow
Just hear that soft voice speak
And my writing, my words
They follow.
~ Patrice

I Wonder What

March 11, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I wonder what
I will say
What I’ll see
In the morning
Unfolding
Just before me.

No breath is taken
Carelessly
Holding on
Moving forward
Knowing I have
Heaven and earth
Backing me.
~ Patrice

I Remember Memories

March 4, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

I remember memories
Both sad and joyous

Memories

They come to me
When I don’t notice

Memories

My mind will be elsewhere
And suddenly they’re there

Memories

Real or imagined
Staring at me
Laughing hysterically

Memories

Nothing seems to matter
Cause I remember
Memories.
~ Patrice

Terrible Times Do Occur

February 25, 2022

Patrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Terrible times do occur
Marching lines, men’s faces obscure
No more joy, lightly skipping breeze
Heartache, morse pretty bleak.

Then the sun shines oh so bright
Lighting the way both day and night
No more tears, sadness blame
All is well once again.
~ Patrice
