you smile
a snowflake
lands on your nose

to live simply
tulip dipped
in rain

car windows down
radio blasting
hand flowing through the wind

our toes in the sand
oh      the full moon

top quarter champion

TOP half Chamption

bottom quarter champion

fresh brewed
she takes a sip
good morning Monday

truck shaking off the morning 
ready for 
a fun day

a tadpole amongst the frogs
i scoop him up into a jar
late bloomer

youngest of three
a voice
that could direct traffic

TOP half champion

CHAMPION

BOTTOM half champion

packed ice rink
a single
outstretched hand

monkey mind
jumps and leaps
into the GORGE

home from college
grandpa hands me
a beer

my father
tucks the dog in
like his third child

top quarter champion

BOTTOM half champion

bottom quarter champion

beams of light
through the screen door
truth comes out

squinted eyes peer
down a         long hall
it echoes with laughter

I watch in awe
the hands that held me
caress piano keys

I queue
a love song
he skips it
