a cousin Christmas
lined up for birth order laughs
growing up too fast
Month: December 2018
(They Were Excited)
The Real Gifts
nothing brings magic
like five lined-up granddaughters
ready for Christmas
Circle of Hope
Lucky Charms wins hearts
tolerant menagerie
of “starved” frenemies
Puppy’s First Christmas
ugly sweater pup
ready for holiday fun
as long as there’s food
Still Holds Them
my teen girls cherish
our holiday traditions
cookies. candies. love.
never a year missed
as friends and family take turns
giving all colors.
Proud Mama
my actor, artist
my sculptor, my filmmaker
my youngest daughter
Worth Its Weight
top notch medicine
provided by his union
workers working win
‘Pic’ed Up
voyeuristic youth
straining for hero worship
this day’s a lost cause
There’s a Reason and a Season…
to be burned badly
leaves irreversible scars
i know this too well
reminders can burn
with each of love’s harsh seasons
oft without reason
so much lost from this
this me, trying to be good,
trying to please you
for a true friendship?
i would do anything, love.
offer everything.
but all of love’s views
have left me with rejection
(unforgivable)
the season has passed
i am nothing but a post
burned and scarred for life
