trumpets
in the convertible
makes him smile

trumpets
in the convertible
his smile

salty tears
on the cheek
military wife

water running
lathered soap
tight curls

Red Truck
Country dirt roads and music
Daddy and I

dressing room
place on a pedestal
mother's tears

slippers on . . .
warm cup of tea
in hand

little boys on the bench
strikeouts and homeruns
life lessons

laughter all around
diving boards and slides
whistles

fresh fallen snow
angels
hot chocolate

papers cover
the wood desk
weighing me down

summer night
cool ripe tomatoes
salt shaker

skinny dipping
cold dirty lake water
bubbles arise

poker parties at the big round table
Grandma's house
little me

drifting snow
whistling wind in the attic
warmth of the fire

fresh fallen snow
cookies baking
grandma's house
