earrings
gently tinkle
she’s one
self-belled cat
autumn motes of happiness
slatted sunlight
puppy’s ambrosia
mine, too
lord of all
pollen-dusted red-eye
head-busting sinus blues
ragweed rules
the roost around here
every day, I’m more perplexed
I’m befuddled by others’ conduct
what odd & disrespectful behaviors
*
on display — rudeness, arrogance,
incivility, boorish disregard, self-
*
centeredness, envy, greed & contempt
what a withering indictment
*
sobering, sad, & disconcerting
this country, this humanity of ours
transitions
August’s summer temper(ature) tantrum
bleeds into September’s autumnal promise
patience and good humor will prevail
should we fail to wilt before cool air arrives
silently consumed
quietly, she no longer
feels the need
to prove herself to anyone
except herself
second hand sweeps no more
remnants of my mother’s watches
timepieces no longer flailing against the onslaught
of a relentless master
puzzle shenanigans
smudges of pencil lead
indecipherable scribblings
Sudoku level: HARD
this one lives up to its billing
a rhombus tango
adult art lessons, part one
triangles, spheres, circles and squares
the shapes of our world
off-ramps to the expression & articulation
of every inner child’s untapped imagination
