Sparkle

i will hike alone
well my puppy comes, of course
we seek alpine lakes

yet i must admit
this elevation gain kills
forty-something legs

but when the lake shines
on my ever-happy pup
it is so worth it

Fire and Ice

water still as ice

while wildfires choke sky

with climate change breath

Too Hot to Believe

only this sunrise

shaped by feared wildfires

could make these strange scenes

Free Fire

how couldn’t you love

living amongst these sunsets?

set by fire, love.

you’ll never see light

like these Friday night lights, love.

you’ll see handlebars.

we win with bike lanes.

with the illusion of truth.

with blue skies and heat.

Mountain Mania

wherever you are

Colorado beats all

with its killer views

Still the One (Twenty-two Years)

you can’t get this far

without climbing some mountains

oh, but the aspens.

Cycle City

perfect Denver view

endless miles of transit

and of course, my bike

Colors of the Sky

we’re home now. screen time.

i want to keep the rainbow.

the perfect sunset pic.

the lake moon rising.

the soothing sound of tent rain.

just being. outside.

Water Everywhere

everyone swimming
a clear Colorado lake
an afternoon storm

camping is simple
with tents, paddle boards, tables
and yet so complex

Lake Life

boys can carry two

stand-up paddle boards alone

so we can have fun
