Here are some micro poems by Jennifer, exclusively for Different Truths.

laughter of children
softening the edges
of every day

***

the morning sun
peeks through the laden branches
waking the day

***

the tip 
of your torch
lights us all

***

hope beginning
a faint whisper inside
an echo from long ago

***

opal droplet morn
sunrise refracting
colorburst of hope

***

the path
opens before my feet--
my soul finds its way

***

softly I wake
with you purring nearby
grateful for this day

***

floating on your surface
nothing between me and sky 
but breeze

***

I can see for miles
in every direction
mountain top

***

I would know
that melody anywhere–
ice cream truck
