day’s small victories:
video discovery,
love hearts updated
(these little remnants
of jam-packed, drama-filled day
make my heart smile)
Replenish
best friend reunion
there is never enough time
to really catch up
but to see them play
just like when we were children
(reliving our dreams)
(I Made the Drinks)
PJ Valentine
with surf and turf from my chef:
that’s how we do it
Sails Up
rough waters ahead
but my blue sky school background
will keep us afloat
Ban HIM
he threatens the court
not understanding his loss
as if we’re blind fools
My Hope for Today
it took seven weeks
for you to trust me enough
to sit in my lap
pleasure purrs through us
as you cuddle and nibble
and at last share love
What Will Save Us
let’s not forget art
whether painted by god’s hands
or written by us
whether found in words
from teens’ broken-hearted hugs
on our Challenge Day
or in the small space
when the night meets the morning —
let’s not forget art
Flatlining
action steps are small
when most people don’t show up
to make them happen
Small Dreams
tiny house adieu
from our vacation
from reality
Climate Hopeful
in snowfall we trust
to have a blue-skied morrow
free from this whitewash
in ski days we trust
to build a better morrow
for these sweet faces
