1

lonely night
full moon all white
no city lights

2

early birds chirping
window open
a warm breeze

3

morning storm
birds sing in the dark
without a sunrise

4

in the morning
I see dishes
in the sink

5

from green to blue
filled to the top
CANNONBALL

6

huge rocks
strong rapids
eyes like a hawk

7

sun through the binds
she pulls the covers
over her head

8

new outfit
new notebook
the same backpack

9

pre-recess excitement
rush out the door
no swings left

10

grandma clenches my hand
walking to the park to play
on the jungle gym

11

blowing out candles
make a wish, for my parents
to be together

12

rain drops
down the car window
who will win

13

7:15 A.M.
water skis breaking up
the calm lake water

14

leaves changing colors
warm soup in the crockpot
on a chilly night

15

morning sunrise
on a warm summer morning
I wait for the day’s start

16

two chairs, a table
lemonade stand with grandma
hopscotch on blacktop

17

dandelions cover the field
weed or flower
determine your worth

18

once bright and red
apple trees
turned gray at dusk

19

picnic packed
van packed
cousin’s day at the zoo

20

2 AM
hit by paw
potty time

21

cousins gather
early at grandma's
time for dodgeball

22

state champs again
congratulations is in order
thanks gramps

23

soaring through the sky
inbetween mountains
I can fly

24

packing the tote
checking the list
what did i forget?

25

bugs and dinosaurs
barbies and dolls
both fill my heart

26

long, black hair
I look at her in awe
the neighbor girl

27

splashing in water
holding onto
the edge of the pool

28

childhood friends
a bond from birth
the three musketeers

29

a busy playground
filled with students
tag you're it

30

Dad holding on
to the bike
lets go

31

early morning
cold air
bus door opens

32

summer day
at the dog beach
a girl’s best friend

33

started a daughter
became a mother last July
to a cancer babe

34

dance in the kitchen
Barry Manilow CD
plays on repeat

35

dad picks me up
mom waves goodbye and leaves me
her Chanel scarf

36

painful silence
no toys in sight
can’t upset dad

37

I float through space
with my hammer
breaking ice

38

nothing to do on a winter day
skates and a hockey stick
let's play

39

thunder
lighting claps in the sky
she says goodbye

40

onion breath
one way to achieve
social distancing

41

summer weather starts
flip flops
short shorts

42

tears fill up
like waves crashing
SOS
