hands held up
to shield the rain
he carries her inside

morning after
her hair still holds
the bonfire’s smoky scent

bundled up
under a blanket
through the pumpkin patch

jealous rain drops
cool me off
but I'm still really hot

top quarter champion

top half champion

bottom quarter champion

raindrops fall
all around us
as our lips . . . touch

we lay on the sidewalk
side by side
listening to the rain

i nestle
into darkness
. . . puddles

down comforter
same as the caterpillar
cocoon

top half champion

champion

bottom half champion

mudstains, tears
so many memories
in these jeans

gritty gravel driveway
her yellow toy boat
sails through the puddle

tumultuous torrent of rain
I breathe a drop
of the sea

hear the wind
moan with longing
for a break

top quarter champion

bottom half champion

bottom quarter champion

grab it quick quick
feel it. chills.
sweatshirt’s a must

shoes squeaking
down the hall
forgotten umbrella

the excitement dies
in the dugout
rain delay

bike races
through the rain
accidents happen
