kaffe fassett color
quilt dries deliciously
in the morning breeze
NOTE: Kaffe Fassett (‘kaffe’ rhymes with ‘safe’!) is a fabric icon to thousands (millions?!?) of quilting enthusiasts. I adore his inspired patterns, colors and designs.
softer words
interspersed with unkind moments
my jagged edges
birdbath planter
scattered greenery
robin-chorus crescendo
seven 20 lb concrete blocks
subtle reminders to husband unheeded
so, I just moved them all myself
warmth envelops my body
I tell myself
it’s time to be good
to who I am
crashing into morning
one foot hits the floor
I still need to sleep
dark-blue expanse
northern sky emboldened
cold front moving in
My poems, Carnivorous and Word-Shopping, Part I, were published today in the online version of The Stygian Lepus, a dark literary journal. I hope that maybe you might like one – or both! – of them.
Also, forever and a day, THANK YOU for looking. Thank you for your support!

Most literary journals and online publications don’t accept poetry that has appeared elsewhere; however, some do, and I’m pleased that two of my poems were accepted (as reprints) in The Field Guide Poetry Magazine.
Mackinaw first appeared in Recesses Zine and lagger tag was originally published in Do Geese See God. I hope you enjoy them both! Always and forever, THANK YOU for looking.
