hankering for scrambled eggs
a crumble of cheddar cheese
wake up, Chef Husband!
oohs & aahs
string of black cats
smudge marks on concrete
sparklers of my childhood
2″ of rain overnight
water pools on morning fairway
solitary golfer sloshes through saturated bentgrass
the course is silent while it waits
everything (briefly) clean
separating the wash
delicates, darks, teals & blues
naked day was always the plan…

against a blue sky
in pursuit of red-tailed hawk
like the dangling snake in its grasp
smaller birds haven’t a chance
journey
yesterday’s sidewalk
tomorrows parkway
avenues & thoroughfares
Repost: Love Bites
It’s been a very long time since I’ve reposted someone else’s work but I discovered this delightful prose poem today courtesy of the Lit Mag News’ monthly ‘mag brag’ newsletter and hope others will enjoy it as much as I did! It’s called Love Bites by Goldie Peacock and appears in MoonPark Review. It’s a real ‘catch’!!
our grave morning
two combatants
a decent man; the other, hardly so
and yet, evil somehow prevails
they come in purple, pink, orange, red & yellow
coneflowers’ weighty crowns
hovering monarchs, bumbling bees
flower garden mainstays
