Salt spray clears the mind
turquoise waves carrying
foamy white topping
moves swiftly toward the shore

Squeals of delight
children chasing the tide
as shells roll furious
beneath bare ticklish feet

The air soft and warm
envelopes glowing skin
brings a wealth of renewal
to young and old the same

Across the bay people work
all day never paying any heed
to the beauty of the sea
and all she has to say

The birds in the trees
singing to me

A brilliant red sunset
setting down in the west

A garden full of seeds
pulling all its weeds

Warming in the sun
surf, sand and sea for fun

The soft gentle nudge
from a dog named Pudge

A newborn babies cry
sends our spirits high

The touch of a warm, loving hand
a sweet long dance

A strong loving embrace
any time any place

(A Short-Short) By Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

Evil is the look in their eyes
saying goodbye
for the very last time
then returning once more
walking back through the door
Evilness returning to score

Three glum birds searched the willowy forest for more of their kind. Finding only bones in the trickling river, they realized they had lost their families to pollution, plight, famine, and the dreaded hunter.

They heard the gentle hum of their families spirits before an evil growl above them spoken of in the myths of their ancestors, invaded their peace. The three little birds had to run hard and long to find a hiding place, where they stopped to pray for safety from the vicious hunting dogs and their cruel human masters.

It had gone all wrong! His Commander was going to have him court-martialed or worse, he’d have to face the firing squad at dawn.

The fledgling scientist, newly recruited into the Party, had assured them that he could and would double or triple the size of their army with his newest gadget, the Replicating Ray Gun. He had replicated hundreds of items so far, a car, a boat, a ladies high-end handbag, which had netted him thousands of rouble’s in sales. He had replicated a tank and even one of their most deadly weapons, the RS-28 Sarmat, which NATO dubbed “Satan 2,” all without a single glitch.

So why were there thousands and thousands upon thousands of rocks and boulders laying where there should be thousands upon thousands of Soviet soldiers?

He heard the jingle of handcuffs along with the heavy plod of his Commander’s footfalls and turned slowly to face his soon-to-be executioner.
