junco acquaintances
brighten
my winter garden
loved them when I was a kid
pancakes & sausages
hearty winter supper
next time, buckwheat please!
one busy boy
January’s backyard thaw
puppy’s handiwork
no longer frozen to the ground

every day but Sunday
mail truck’s flashing lights
three houses away
giddy as a child, I wait
regrets only get me nowhere but oh, how I’d savor the chance to right so many, many wrongs
flying solo
my first expedition
in the realm
of the world

My poem, the beggar wretch, was published this morning in Altered Reality Magazine, an online speculative fiction / poetry / arts publication. Something a little dark to kick off the new year!
frigidity
Iowa’s politburo
gathers ‘round
mittened hands
frozen feet
still close
cell-phone chats
with my son
post-pandemic
camaraderie
january storms
eleven inches on the ground
paying for our mild December
more snow predicted
