all knocking on the door
weeknight excitement

the sound of daddy’s beetle
coming down the drive

weeknight excitement —
the sound of daddy’s beetle
home again from work
the sound of daddy’s beetle
home again from work
roof top water hose
roof top water hose
fresh pads of hay —
the care and feeding
of vintage
swamp coolers
golden poppy fields
golden poppy fields
wandering through endless memories
of summers long ago
of summers long ago
dad’s veggie garden
dad’s veggie garden
fresh tomatoes, zucchini
corn taller than sis!
liberating myself!

syllables no longer rule my life
new blog theme:
”haiku and other short verse”
lost my glasses

new garden rock formation
suddenly becomes cats

covers
little sis
little sis
a sunkist orange
prancing qround
in her furry new coat
high school memories
high school memories
you
the prom

reaching the boundaries
reaching the boundaries
of societal genres
i struggle to be free
waking to the sound
waking to the sound
of daddy’s edger – the smell
of fresh-cut grass
Happy Birthday, Dad!
Happy Birthday, Dad!
with 92 kisses
my heart’s singing to you
living in good cheer
living in good cheer
is still hard to do – tomorrow’s
daddy’s birthday again
last of the season
last of the season
heavy rain throughout the night
40 mph winds —
in the morning sun
the trees are tangled up
tiny barefoot steps
tiny barefoot steps
on daddy’s fresh cut lawn —
even dead bees sting!
teen memories
the Beatles may reign —
my stereo plays
the tracks of my tears
dangling blue-green beads
dangling blue-green beads
on the radio
a whiter shade of pale
morning rain
morning rain
brings early spring blossoms
yet dark evening fog
still creeps in
Valentine’s dry run
Valentine’s dry run —
invited mother for brunch!
sizzling potatoes
turned and stirred ‘til golden brown
join garlic, eggs, cheese and ham
YUM!
moved to the boonies
moved to the boonies
some 36 years ago
now our house creaks on ancient bones
cars thunder by . . .
I wonder where silence goes
soft velvet roses
soft velvet roses
canopied above their heads —
do they dream
of old gnarled hands?
I’m a porcupine
(with apologies to sis,
who I don’t think actually ever did this!)
·I’m a porcupine
laughs little sis
poking me with plastic
pick-up sticks
life’s in everything
life’s in everything
at levels not understood —
good morning crock pot!
kitchen sink, towels, dishes —
working tools of my life
shiny green apple
shiny green apple
should be sprouting a worm —
nasty brown inside
😦
under the stepladder
under the stepladder
bucket of paint
toppled–
kitty’s wearing green!
reheated dish water
reheated dish water —
frothy tower of bubbles
spills on the stove
drinking life
drinking life
white anamel flowers
my red water bottle
beans soaked overnight
beans soaked overnight
dream of garlic and cumin
cry crock me! crock me!
