the garden she adored
I spread her ashes
mid march

wintry wind
she refuses to leave
her mother’s new grave

cherry blossom spring
warm breeze
kisses the pallbearer’s cheek

moss covered stone
foundation crumbling
in the spring rain

top quarter champion

top half champion

bottom quarter champion

Spring rain
I tie my running shoes
anyway

spring thaw
muddy knee boots
feeding cattle

blistering cold
good book
by the fireplace

writing winter haiku
warm dog
on my lap

top half champion

champion

bottom half champion

sun on her face
oh how she wishes
they were headed south

baseball stadium
we use napkins
to soak up the sweat

morning glories
like the wind
keep my secrets

legs stick and sting
Damn!
these leather seats

top quarter champion

bottom half champion

bottom quarter champion

sparks from campfire
season my hair
with warmth

harvest moon
we sit around a bonfire
roasting marshmallows

Fall
Sunday football
I root for his team

sun shining through
iced tea glasses
a couple hold hands
