Sunkissed my lids and dew melted in my hands as I leaped Laughter bounced from the soft snowy clouds echoing a call Wings of buttery color with hues of scarlet and cerise rose Angels of Protection with skin transparent and features unique Exquisiteness which held no conceivable description flew softly Yet reverberations like thunder imparting … Continue reading Faith

River’s Song
I hide within her rolling peaks and float with ferns that line the river Playing the snapping turtle's shell pulsating sounds echo in rhythm Scarlet Tanagers singing along with warblers from their thin branches Water moccasins slither like ribbons in the wind close to her long lip Young Blue-fronted Dancers perform a colorful salsa within … Continue reading River’s Song
Psalm to Twilight
Sweet the twilight tears of yesterday where hope exist in our glorious worldGod illuminating the nighttime, the moon and stars light the corridor of our pathMoonbeams kiss the dark hours bringing forth the white MoonflowerNocturnal moths drawn to its scent to pollinate the center of the five-pointed star Synchronizing their flashing as they dance while … Continue reading Psalm to Twilight
A Harvest Psalm
Oh, how the breeze places movement gently upon the wheat in the field of plenty. The soft breath of the wind takes its stretching top, heavy with grain, and gently rocks. Rivers of dazzling dark and light golden color burst forth like a river bounding with fish swimming in timeless schools of laughter. Talk to … Continue reading A Harvest Psalm
Lust and a Coffee Cup
Window Weeper, salty tears lost in anguish, cutting deep with painYour saddened state only aggravates your memories which are in vainAlone inside empty walls, for you, there is now nowhere else to runYou should have known that evening out with lust, was more than funYet within your rending heart and in your dreams you already … Continue reading Lust and a Coffee Cup

Yabbies, mountain lobster or mudbugsCrawdads swimming against Nature's mirrorI point them out to the girl who is now nearer. Appalachian bristle fern surrounds usNo one will attend my nursing graduationI share … Continue reading Stream of Tears
Innocence Betrayed

Once to share my unlocked heart until misery maimed my soul,Reclaiming your "forever after", with the razor tongue you stole. Untouched and pure was I inside for never had I loved before,You, my … Continue reading Innocence Betrayed
Oak and an Angel
Sweat gently trickles between the aging tan skin of my breasts.Seasoned are the chambers of this heart that passed the test,Enduring each stage of suffering that came, for He knew best! Death took me not, for as a snowflake unique, He put me on Earth,Life forces surging, His spirit dwells in me, a few years … Continue reading Oak and an Angel
Toxic Water
The great whale will die, eating Islands of plastic, while many don’t care. In a turtle’s nose, lodged within a plastic straw, causing constant pain. Killing the ocean, no cares for the future child, hearts lack devotion. By Joni Caggiano (Three Haikus) 11/13/19 Photo by Joni - Olympus - E520
Lonely Sailor (Part One)
I was stealing out into the darkness of the summer night at sixteen. My senses were still on high alert. I quietly close the basement door of my first unshared bedroom. My parents were lifeless, and when last I did dare to peek into their room, my father lay naked as did my mother on … Continue reading Lonely Sailor (Part One)
