words have been long gone
too many pics and lives lived
since when i last wrote
Spring Forward
poetry
Pay Them. Keep Them.
a teacher’s impact
can last decades after school
relationships count
Monday Brights (Instead of Blues)
cat-loving reader:
the only words to describe
my middle child
March Mantra
skiing is breathing
fresh snow brings fresh life to life
winter is heaven
Theatrical Debut
night of theatre
for the “quiet” youngest one
who shines on the stage
Seasonal Adore Disorder
a cloud beneath us–
powder day brings heaven home
as flakes float our love
Rejuvenation
weekend getaway
with mountain hot springs calling
to march from winter
My Chauffeur
a milestone reached
after sixteen years a mom
she earns her license
Fresh Powder
ski like life needs it
soon the powder will be gone
and we’ll miss this choice
Sweet Sixteen
sixteen years a mom
raising this beautiful girl
to face the world
arriving past dark
she softened in the sunlight
ready for the fight
ready for blue skies
to brighten her winter day
(born ready to play)
proud to celebrate
sixteen turns around the sun
(hot springs, sushi fun)
sixteen years a mom
sixteen years my daughter shines
with her brilliant mind
