badminton trials
building weights with drills and logs
and making meringues
not a perfect day
(no day lived in fear can be)
but we’re sure trying
Coronatine, Day Seventeen
renewal
Coronatine, Day Sixteen
a neighborhood walk
(though not in my neighborhood)
is good for the soul
Coronatine, Day Fifteen
views from nearby walks
are all we have at this time
to get us through this
Coronatine, Day Eleven (The Missing Piece)
i’m an introvert
but my teenagers are not
(glad they’re not alone)
Coronatine, Day Ten
here are my children
throwing frisbees in the park
(they’ve never done this)
quarantine, day nine:
presidential rampages,
orders to stay home
just look at my son:
showing pup what he can do
with our family
card and board games win
(break news cycle doom and gloom)
We WILL get through this.
Coronatine, Day Nine
trying to find peace
in simple, everyday walks
with green below snow
Coronatine, Day Eight (Make Soup)
no snowy sunrise
or Minnesota rice stew
can save our planet
but even at night
the world sparkles just so
and we can wish well
Coronatine, Day Six
our lives lived in lines
hoping that this snow will pass
and leave us with spring
Coronatine, Day Five
making some progress
(most kids cooperating)
even some planting
Coronatine, Day Four (At Least There’s a Dog)
we survived day four
(survival: tears, backtalk, cards)
now it’s day by day
