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

Garden Every Moment

instructions, really?

i’ll pour it into a pan

and hope for the best

zucchini: the best.

it will make anything work

(yes, like my husband)

can you imagine?

finding this at age nineteen?

this gem of a love?

why, yes, that’s a bloom

after a summer snowstorm

they both still love me

Frosted, Ready

first zucchini bread

(waiting for winter like me)

the sweetest present

It’s True

true… at forty-two

i shouldn’t still have this hair.

but i do. i do.

On a Cold Thursday

my dog runs wild

nothing but joy in his heart

oh, to capture it

Sayonara, Mi Jardín

from smoky skies to ice

all the devil’s handiwork

(Earth in humans’ grip)

The Midnight Sky

after the sun sets

stars put on their midnight show

in dark sky country
