post-Super Bowl meal:
throw all leftovers in pan.
heat. Monday served up.
yes, the Broncos won.
but Rio overcame fear:
the true victory.
art museum fun
with friends who are leaving us
for warmer climates
finally carved time
for (drink-free) happy hour
(where laughter matters)
i want this time back:
three still-young girls, a castle
(Portuguese heaven)
how can one class change
from angels to demons, stat!
during one school day?
life of a teacher
defined by hard moments
that can’t be managed
these holiday gifts
in the form of flakes falling
make winter perfect
snow: what’s not to love?
silent city renewal–
few cars venture out
walking on a cloud
block after frosting-white block
to share tea, croissant
a break to catch up
on work, good books, coloring;
everything we need
and yes, a snowgirl
to add to our female fam
carrot nose and all
these “holiday” joys
gifts from some heavenly realm
make life worthwhile
anticipation
for hoped possibilities
falling from the sky
