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
