like an angry owl
busy counting it’s wrongdoings.
A Single Drop of Moonlight

A single drop of moonlight drifted
over the snow covered hill,
And landed with sheer silence on top of my windowsill.

It's peaceful in Winter, Down by the fire,
Drinking hot chocolate, Until I get tired.

Just a small little hero/ Who's only twelve inches tall.

Beach Imagery Poem
(July, 2008)Illustrated by Maya Gouw, Age 11, South Setauket, New York
I hear the buzz of laughter coming from little kids / When they play in the sand building giant sand castles
The Forest
(July, 2008)The early morning dew rests on the leaves and little bits of sunlight peek through the canopy of green magic.
Hot Air Balloon

Breathing it in, looking around.
