Sculpture Class in the Time of COVID

my paper artist

finished her first high school art

with paper and paint

A Steady Pace

a small but huge goal

to exercise every day

for a solid year

Cherish the Earth

the garden goes on

far into September nights

when i make salsa

and another quiche

made by my girl while canning

consumed my evening

Classic Colorado

fall aspens: golden

it’s worth the annual drive

and finding our path

Bonsai Wishes

small measures of growth

found in homework submitted

and cut junipers

could we win it back?

the country that we have lost?

trimmed, but at what cost?

No Silver Linings

i just want waffles

covered in candied berries

not today’s bad news

Nothing Dead about this Pool

a boy of few words

so happy for a costume

(his childhood lost)

Deck the Windows

reaching for sunrays

as all Coloradoans

(my tropical babe)

Give it to Me

we finally caved

and gave Seinfeld our money

we just need to laugh

Trapped in Technology

head down, overwhelmed:

it’s hard to make solutions

for his new world
