Pink

May crabapple blooms
filling the afternoon sky
bring a spring of hope

Love Lion

sometimes we need love
from an animal reaching
for a hand to hold

Spiraling

my Tuesday night win:
how perfect is spaghetti
when first poured in pan?

Falling Petals

spring brings us fresh blooms
so soft, so in need of sun
so willing to wilt

Family Tradition

graduation tree
she chose Granny Smith Apple
sweet, sour, pie-love

Stony

pathways to future 
are never perfectly set
and always rocky

Green Eyes, Red Roses

cats and roses glow
for days after my birthday
sunrise and sunset

A Pound of Joy

i need happiness

so i ordered mood-boost tea

maybe a bit much

Clothed in Gratitude

my students need clothes
and “generosity lives”
is this store’s motto

Forty-five Years

i made it this far
sometimes that’s all you can say
blooming beginnings
