the pic of the day:
shattered shards of icy glass
in a parking lot?
a partner ski date
with never-gets-old peak views
and perfect powder?
or my son’s bracelet
two weeks into this new life
we’re building from scratch?
it’s my dilemma:
choosing the best words, pictures
to capture this life
skiing is a dream
found in powdery wide slopes
in Colorado
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
so simple, really:
the teens play cabin boardgames
while we ski for love
a cloud beneath us–
powder day brings heaven home
as flakes float our love
goodbye to winter,
to snow that blew away spring
(if only today)
solitary slope
freshly groomed, chickadees’ tweets,
a good way to end
but ice plagued the runs
with snow that just wouldn’t fall
no matter how cold
