a "staff shortage" day
everything canceled with tracks
(hope thinner than ice)
COVID Snow Day
city
Road Trip 2021, Day Sixteen (Boston)
the Constitution
(a ship in Boston Harbor)
has won my man’s heart
a tavern lunch date
for our last family road trip
with all of our girls
all grown up, my girls
(they’ve been everywhere with us)
and soon they will fly
But the Shade Tree
with one vacant lot
the clear divide of wealth
(urban devilry)
Circle Up
'welcome to our house'
they even opened their car
to the teens’ delight
if they could see them
maybe they could listen; help them
maybe they’d be safe
this is how it starts:
with a circle and some words
and a little hope
Heart Won
sometimes the night's lights
are only in the sunset
(not the soccer game)
Wash Perks
blue sky Saturday
with winter branches hugging
the first day of spring
Ready, Set, Rise
winter sunrise strokes
as soft as with a paintbrush
with red glow on snow
power lines define
the hidden energy here
ready to rise up
a long-shadowed pup
feels tall in the morning light
ready for the day
Time Will Tell
will the sign survive?
will Snowpocalypse happen?
or are we all flakes?
Sunrise Pup
these pink winter lines
like angel’s wings each morning
welcoming the day
Cloud Sharing
that Denver skyline
always bright, ready to burst
these broken bubbles
