Spring, I entreat you,
Cast out this shivery clime!
Shine forth your warmth, long overdue;
Flowering buds are ready for showtime.

K. Pinella’s poems
Such a Tart
Pretty as you please,
Laid out luscious and sultry,
Looks are deceiving.
They may seem alike
But each brings her own delight.
Watch out for those tarts.

Brother-in-arms
Greeted with open arms,
Briefly disarmed
By disarming the ones you love.
But nighttime sounds of armaments
Break through the arms of Morpheus;
Can’t keep the memories of war
At arm’s length.
Thank you for your service*
And how you brought us peace,
Shouldn’t we do more
To help pick up your pieces?

Start of a new week,
Greet Sunday with a sundae,
Or, maybe parfait?
Sweet tooth for a tooth;
The dentist has much to fill,
But it’s all worth it.
Thyme Bomb
Take time to spice up,
Thyme can make a difference;
Tasty explosion.

Wait a second,
Got a minute?
Back in an hour,
Give me a day,
Squeeze me in?
I promise not to take too much time,
But if I do . . .
It’s not like I committed a crime.
Ashen Valentine
Their love surprised,
Then suppressed;
They were forced to separate,
Their hearts wept as if to suppurate.
They surrendered,
Resigned to be suspended
In a state of suffering.
But knowing it’s temporary was sufficient
To help them survive
Their severe
Mortal sentence
Because their souls know the silence
Does not mean they are still,
For their love will always be here to stay.
