Naked by JL Denman May 29, 2009

Naked
dancing
twirling on the cold sheets. Ice blue. Sun fresh scent wafting through open window panes.
naked
living
living boldly like fire flies and antelope. They never meet in life but live bright and free.
naked
singing
chirping summer songs on warm breezes. listening to the echoes sing-dance back again from rocks and wood and flower petals
naked
freed
naked
love
make life
naked
as newborns
fresh as rain
ephemeral as butterflies and dandelion seed
naked
live naked
love naked
sing naked
Oh! the deliciousness of bare.

Sipping through Straws by JL Denman May 29, 2009

Sip
slurp
puckered lips
delicious sensation
Cold liquid, sliding up the swirls
look at it swoop!
So silly these swooping straws
So like babies toddling along wet beaches in frilly bloomers over puffy diapers.

Sip
yum!
delightful lemon!
Icy. frozen bits of tangy summer
So silly. Look! These sipping straws
So like sand castles with salt water moats. floating seashell warriors on make believe quests.

Sip
smile
remembering thoughts
decadent thrill of penny candy
So silly sipping candy through crazy straws!
So like cousins locked arm in arm sharing secrets. about boys and mom’s high heels

Sip
Sip summer through a draw.
So like sunshine happiness.

#1 - a haiku about the weather outside my windows:

storm clouds blowing in
wind whipping the tree branches
will the rain come too?

#2

the clouds are now gone
they hopped over the valley
to rain some place else
