national pet day:
for this ratty-haired puppy
i give way too much

national pet day:
for this ratty-haired puppy
i give way too much

pomapoo powder
won’t complain of April snow
snow play any day
our netted hammock:
plan for mosquito summer
in Minnesota

a sunny Sunday
is made for panting puppies
searching for blue skies



clouds that light the sky
over friends who will still play
childhood’s sunset


sometimes a good meal
can open the door to love
with a pinch of spice


words have been long gone
too many pics and lives lived
since when i last wrote








we will never win
without recognizing hate
buried deep within
and taking the time
to call for a needed change
in every corner
a teacher’s impact
can last decades after school
relationships count
