Day One, Road Trip 2016

teary pet goodbye
 gives way to mountains and plains
 peppered by gray sky
 
 


storms hover past us
 as curvy roads snake Texas
 with speeds much too high
 


we drive till sunset,
 kiss the red canyon good night,
 find our hobbit hole
 
 

Pedal to Petal

baby blooms her legs
 on a twenty-mile trek
 through city of dreams
 
 

Ignite It

just capture this light
 bright enough to block the night
 and fight the good fight
 
 

Roots

 history’s learned best
 when you can see it firsthand
 in a child’s eyes
 
 

Baby Brunch Date

biking out to brunch:
 way to tackle a cool day
 during midsummer
 
 

 

Aquarium Trip

fish day with grandma
 an adventure at each turn
 they’ll always recall
 
 

Solo Time

fun with the youngest
 my flower amongst the blooms
 that give us this life
 
 

Source of Life

day begins and ends
 with the shuffle of all days
 but with this lake view
 
 

 

Working Class Motherhood

a guilty mother:
 the only kind i can be
 as a working one.
 
 
 

Love Will Live

in this tragic life
 whose pain touches all of us
 we must find beauty
 
 around the curved path,
 falling angel-like from trees,
 a blue mountain view,
 
 the eyes of a child,
 the joy of family outings–
 hope that love will live
