just a spot of tea
for my pint-sized pup hero
(always makes my day)
Pint-Sized Hero
dogs
Teacher Tired
broken copier,
mushroom chicharrón tacos,
and this sad puppy
it's only Wednesday
of my first week back at school
and exhaustion wins
Bull-Hearted
like this worn-out dog
i have nearly given up…
yet, i’m a Taurus.
and so i garden
though it, too, is a failure
stolen by flowers
this year’s loss, in pics:
weeds and grass and tearing out
for one little heart
Road Trip 2021, Day Eight (A New Paddle)
carrying kayaks
down for a pup-and-paddle
oh the lake, the lake
Road Trip 2021, Day Seven (Pontoon Life)
a day on the lake
clear, glistening perfection
formed by hills, glaciers
with a loving pup
and our nearly-grown daughters
the day is a gift
Perfectly Fleeting
my pup, lake, camp, board:
seemingly perfect weekend
(calm before the storm)
the weather plagues me
sending wind when there was none
and stealing these views
if i could lift wings,
glide pelican-like, headfirst,
it wouldn’t matter
alas, i must walk
through all the humanoid storms
that we’ve created
Lakeside Love
sunset’s golden light
shines brighter in the mountains
with my perfect pup
Obey
the mountains call us
with their peak views, quaking aspens
(listen for the call)
May Flowers
rainy Mother's Day
(cantaloupe aches for planting)
my babies: plants, pets
Pretty, Not Perfect
this side of the glass
has me trapped like a sad pup
just begging entry
