powder-blue skies
where will you take me today?

powder-blue skies
where will you take me today?
words on the page
peering into one’s heart
the writer’s dilemma
sunshine sparkles
vegetables sautéing
my winter kitchen
northwest wind—
stocking footed
on cold concrete
selfishly thoughtless
or cruelly evil—
a bullet always
disregards intent
yellow-heavy bouquet
punctuated with pink
husband delivers
toxic sisters
still, I take
I no longer take
their calls
******************************
p.s. my gorgeous peace of mind…
football’s crescendo
rests now on its laurels
we wait for next September
magnolia in winter
lingering scent
long after the flame
is extinguished
clatter, boom & bang
furnace replacement underway
no place for puppy to hide
