The Perfect Peach

The end of summer is surely reached

When one can enjoy the perfect peach.

Kelly Voelker

When the Blossoms Fall

When the blossoms fall

We'll drop it all

Go sit down, adjourn, not think

Play some cards, enjoy a drink

It's social time go get a chair

Enjoy the breeze and get fresh air.

-Kelly Voelker

To the Point

I don't want to know your story

I don't want to comprehend 

I want to share some observations 

Based on where we stand.

Kelly Write Away

Celebrity of Spring

The tree stood before the stormy sky

Dressed in vivid green lace

The spotlight of setting sun

Lighting her with orange and gold

Like a celebrity of spring

A hostess of those who migrate and sing.

-Kelly Voelker

Old Cement Sidewalk

An old cement sidewalk

Narrow and rough

Leads me between flowers

I've planted and loved.

-Kelly Voelker

This Quiet Moment's Bliss

When I was entirely full of life

I could entirely occupy large spaces

Large spans of time 

From theirs up to mine

Improving the wear 

Embellishing with joy and vitality

Creating depth in my reality

Now I occupy the smaller and simple

Cleaning the past out

Who shall no more ripple

Through my present time tense

During this quiet moment's bliss.

-Kelly Voelker

My Spirit Trespasses

So familiar yet not mine

Like someone else's Valentine

A memory I didn't have with a

Place I could have made my stand

A place which isn't tame or nice

But beautiful and rugged rough

Only hooves and paws are meant to tread

Let my spirit trespass in awe instead.
