Under the Sycamore, souls search for solace. Huddled beneath the Hackberry, hearts hunt for harmony. Cuddled and covered by the the Catalpa's canopy, every withered worry disseminates, sun scorched, It's embers blowing in the whimsical wind. That's what freedom feels like. poetry@wb2026

Under the Velvet Mesquite tree, sunbeams whisper lovingly to me, like a lover's soft caress, It tickles my ear, and promises it's warmth, a claik of love, chivalry is jealous, I blush amidst the banter, better for having witnessed, this wonder. Poetry@wb2026

Dear WriteOut, Oh how I 've missed you. Let me count the ways. Your light illuminates my path, your gentle breeze cools the heat of my thoughts, your blue sky sings of hope and healing, you are my solace and in your soft solitude I surrender. #WriteOut2025 #JapaneseBotanicalGardens #Pittsburgh,PA

Mother’s Day without you is like, a petal-less long stem rose like the ocean without a single drop of water, like the moon lit sky without a single star to promenade its presence, Another day and hope is seeking sorrowful souls to save, my voice unfurls…”take me.” Photography&Poetry©WB2025

Sense can be made of it: a small man threatened by a giant of a woman. But how dreadful! Dr. Carla Hayden is simply Champion–of literacy, freedom to read, of diversity equity & inclusion. The loss of her leadership in the LoC is immense. Dr. Hayden, may you land where your light continues to shine.
