Water Dance by Rhonda Fisher (Poetshewrote)

Coursing water,
sand spiraling
circling rocks

caught up in
whirlpool, swift
clockwise spin

surging in,
out of control
stirs us deeper

into warm
slipperry
water dance.

Child's Play by Rhonda Fisher (Poetshewrote)

Inside is
a forgotten child
yearning to laugh and play.

Come play with me...

We'll dance barefoot to Chopin
scamper through salty waves,
howl at late Summer moons,
roast marshmallows over open fires

Play pajama party games of
hide and seek under the covers,
toss pillows 'til the feathers fly.

Lonely one, come play with me...

IT'S BEEN FUN by Rhonda Fisher

Grasshopper...

come hop on over here.
I like your green legs
and ever so soft body.

Jump on my finger,
tickle my fancy,
keep me company
for a little while.

We'll eat a few leaves,
have a spitting contest
'till the cows come home.

Oh, Grasshopper...

it's been fun, but
you'll eat Mommy's
flowers, so bye bye

Soul Searching

See me, dear friend...
a wounded, sanguine soul
who's traveled far to find
new life and love again.

Hear me, dear friend...
tell dusty road stories of
betrayed trust, broken
promises, and lonely nights.

Hold me, dear friend...
with safe, strong arms
until the screaming stops
and hidden tears flow.

Tell me, dear friend...
What will mend my
broken heart? When will
God answer my prayers?
