on a busy street corner.
Will they meet again?

Can't Pick
Forced to choose between
bad and worse, better and fair.
Life, such hard choices.

Tall mounds of fresh snow
melt slowly but get dirty.
Corruption of clout.

Close to the Heart
What can make us sad?
Loss, pain, want, snub, or rebuke
of those we hold dear.

Making a new life
on the other side of earth.
What drives us so far?

Hard work pays off. Sure!
Ignore what the skeptics say,
I can vouch for this.

Exhausting but fulfilling.
I love the challenge!

Tomorrow I'll be tired.
Should I have stayed home?

Another long day
I'm exhausted. But my kids'
laughter revives me.

False Security?
Moonlit night. Silence.
Then, a neighborhood dog barks.
Night in the suburbs.

A dark moonless night.
Heavy snowfall burdens life
like stress, pain, or grief.

The wind blows all night.
Tomorrow it will bring snow.
Winter is still here.

Writing poetry,
the inspiration takes time.
The rest is easy.

Last night in her dream,
she cooked and ate a Dragon.
Tasted like chicken!

Summer evening.
Stifling heat slows everything.
Sprinklers make kids run.

Icicles reach down
Using snow banks and noon's heat.
At night they pause, rest.

Ageing leaves hold tight.
Separation anxiety.
But soon they will leave.

When trees are laden
with unpicked, rotting old fruit,
don't stand under them!
