begonia flowers a pale salmon

its light peers through woven blinds

the glorious day

spreads out before her,

possibilities sparkling

amid the sun

sheets smoothed flat

spread folded, shams orderly

jammies tucked beneath the pillow

morning peers through every window

morning sun lies on spring’s lush grass

its shine calms, comforts my heart,

yesterday’s doubts & fears — all fly away

two hours of writing, reading

then writing some more

a wide-eyed, crazy, wild ride

my literary late, late night

toast with honey

a few poems

hot cinnamon spice tea

for the kill

My poem, the lookout, was published today in the Spring 2025 online issue of confetti, Westchester Writers Workshop Magazine.

I wrote this poem originally in response to an ekphrastic challenge by Wee Sparrow Poetry Press. It did not win but was featured in their newsletter.

Thanks!
