New Year’s Eve
in 2019
Bruce learned to ski from up high
into a new life
in 2019
a drain drained our resources
and worsened our debt
in 2019
my girls adjusted again
to life’s challenges
in 2019
we were given the rare chance
to make a difference
in 2019
we traveled through the country
searching for ourselves
in 2020
we’ll make a better life
everywhere we go
Seasonal Joy
semester’s endings:
our girls of many talents
fill our life with love
A Bluebird Afternoon
so simple, really:
the teens play cabin boardgames
while we ski for love
Colorado Dreamscape
my weekend frenzy
with a pink sunrise startup
ending with a tree
Front Range Burnout
a weekend hiking
is the only proper way
to enjoy summer
Road Trip 2019: Day Nineteen, Hail
the storm has arrived
enough to bring shrieking youth
joy none of us find
yet the lake beckons
with its endless, silent joy
should we ask for more?
or live like ancients
who treasured every birchbark
for the life it gave?
Road Trip 2019: Day Seventeen, Red Sunrise
red sun, glassy lake
paddling with the puppy:
perfect lakehouse day
Road Trip 2019: Day Fourteen, Lake House Life
morning adventures:
the kayaks’ gentle lilting
through freshwater lake
Road Trip 2019: Day Thirteen, Minneapolis–The North Woods
a tornado scare
led to this downtown hassle
with a sparkling Vista
delayed flight gave time
for a capitol your
offering domed wealth
my man has arrived
for our drive to the North Woods
where water saves all
