puddle jumping
rain boots
all muddy

boy's goldfish
begins to swim again
toilet flushing

prick the finger
gentle red flow
of blood brothers

waiting
for the school bus
giggling neighbor girls

black scuff
on the wall
from our last fling

jumping
tree to tree
monkey business

dog barks abruptly
to the sudden door bell ring
boy asks her to lunch

momma lays close
to the newborn puppies
the laundry basket

the red-tail hawk soars
rocking
with the breeze

country summer
taking my horse
to the old town road

isolated
a caterpillar wiggles
in its cocoon

snuggled up
with a good book
rain hitting the roof

store-bought cake
brother's blue
tongue

alcohol
the right way
words off my chest

just like a gem
a girl
and her pearls

Christmas lights
completely still
shimmering in the night

the old house
has a new
broken window

the picture hanging
on the wall
crooked

overgrown weeds
they cover
the headstone

the black cat
sitting on the grave
of the owner

old Border collie
twitches in its sleep
for the last time

our mangy dog
left behind
unpacking

alive on the

pancake
ran over twice
the squirrel

the duck pond
nobody else notices
the drug deal

screams of terror
lobster tail
dinner

startled awake
by the pounding of a drum
never at peace

love hurts
get over it
focus

my gift to him
a piece of my heart from
the shards on the floor

the demons in my mind
shake off their cobwebs
hello depression   my old friend

staring
into the night sky
alone
