coffee maker sputtering the steam of this day quickly disappearing

sharing a slice of pumpkin pie I feel the warmth of your smile

snowy owl sighting so many people and none of us talking

december 1 before I've recovered from November's bills

morning traffic a killdeer trying to navigate the divide on a divided highway

It's Chili Season!


waiting room the chex cereal woven into the party mix

persimmon seeds look what the wind left behind

costco inspiration I get a second opinion on the chili

bad hair day I'm just a porcupine in a silk t-shirt

to all ye merry revelers a few rum shots for your eggnog

omicron variant will the new year be a pandemic repeat

holiday lights


cold coffee my payback for having neglected you

winter sunshine I embrace the empty spaces between leaves

ocean scene the screensaver disappears

holiday lights a one-sided conversation with santa

mismatched clothing this is what I wear this is who I am

art museum the embroidered girl stitched with love

my wild roots not going back to the manicured lawn

hermit crab if you don't want that shell I'll take it

cornfield rows not every ear can hear you

fade

football goddess the lopsided smile of nike on every jersey

gunshots a neighbor thankful for bullets and the 2nd amendment


thanksgiving day birdsong my morning coffee with friends
