I want to say
the worth of a puddle
is in the scenery it reflects.

Listen as the rhythm
of a heated, humid day
meets the drumming of a
fevered, fertile night.
Nesting, Resting, and Heroes
©2012 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
Nesting in a tree,
resting on its roots,
red-caped superhero sporting
camouflage boots.
Divine Nature
©2011 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
Proof of divinity is all around.
God’s handiwork transcends His mystery.
The Story Seed
©2011 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
I planted a little story seed,
just placed it deeply in the ground
and, fertilizing carefully,
spread all the dirt and mulch around.
On Trees…and Me
©2011 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
My very best friend is a tree.
He lifts me up and sets me free.
In his strong arms, the sun draws nigh;
his leafy patterns paint the sky.
The Happy Tree
©2011 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
I’m swinging on the happy tree,
in love with everything I see.
White, fluffy clouds and bright blue sky
reach out for me as I fly by.
Evening Falls

Evening falls like gentle rain
upon the weary day.
The colors fade, then flash once more
before they pass away.
