karaoke nigiht
I wonder which song
he'll pick for us

2

Sunday meditation
in the park
geese become the guides

3

snack time at grandma’s
a label
from twelve years ago

4

looking up from
the winding country road
a constellation I’ve never seen

5

the church hymnal
cracking
coming undone

6

puffy eyes and aching head
I need to be cured
. . . a bad case of senioritis

7

for that price?
Nationwide better be
on my side

8

thick hair
the coconut aroma
swashing his face

9

in the forest
the trees
whisper her name

10

the mountain
its hues
extend to the universe

11

broomcorn
sweeps across the floor
spring spiritual cleaning

12

big bite
into the asiago
cream cheese oozing

13

white skull
on his chest
ACAB is his creed

14

eggs in basket
nails through
His hands

15

6 hour drive home
country music
all the way

16

Christmas poinsettias
still lingering
waiting for her

17

side by side
drifting to sleep
me and the dog

18

perfect chemistry
you just want to
be friends

19

after the storm
an apology
made out of sunshine

20

Covid-19
we are living through
the ten plagues

21

flowers in full bloom
commencing sneezing attack
in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

22

matzo ball soup
wine dipped finger
Passover

23

big family dinner
snacking on candy
from my basket

24

sun through my window
which spring outfit
will I wear today?

25

under the moonlight
my skin
painted blue

26

end of service
we walk on palm leaves
to get home

27

little horse,
my endorphins
increase

28

fresh air,
the rocks slipping
beneath my shoes

29

Easter brunch,
time to gossip
about the neighbors

30

scratching at the
bowl
puppy is hungry!

31

in the night
our fingertips touch
fireflies

32

egg hunt
she hides her sadness
as they tell her she has none left

33

Easter morning
my chocolate bunny
missing an eye

34

2-year-old
my favorite part
about traveling home

35

early morning practices
will NEVER
excite me

36

pink sprinkles
she twirls amongst
the cherry blossoms

37

snap crackle pop
my knees
when I stand up

38

waves lap my feet
at sunset . . .
goodbye, grandpa

39

sticky hands and
colored tongues;
SNOW CONES!

40

to do list
should’ve used
pencil

41

twenty years old
Mom still
gives us Easter baskets

42

Nat 20 rolled
the dragon gets
seduced . . . by the bard

43

Easter egg in plain sight
the five-year-old
runs the other way

44

tears brushed away
He will turn her grave
into a garden

45

we sit in the pew
eye contact with
Jesus hanging on the cross

46

a secret
too heavy to carry
on my own

47

Easter morning
mom says I’m too old
for an easter basket

48

lonely inside
I don’t remember
her name

49

unwanted pregnancy
she is told to keep
her afternoon free

50

Easter
drops of blood
I taste salvation

51

in the bathroom
alone
I muffle myself 

52

I lay down for bed
eyes closed
but my mind wanders

53

first Spring day
I take my pet
rock for a walk

54

trying to poop
my cat
wants to see

55

drama alert!
I go straight to Twitter
to find out what’s happening

56

Easter alone
a text
from an old friend

57

wizard
since I’m dead
do I get my spell slots back

58

Easter egg hunt
I found one!
filled with last year's candy

59

the aggressive howl
of the wind
a spring day

60

lights from
an old farmhouse
fill the night sky

61

grandma’s garden
overcrowded with
yellow tulips

62

morning coffee
the bitter smell reminds me
I am invincible

63

Toy Story clouds
we unpack
our childhoods

64

the speckled remains
of the quail's
tiniest egg

65

picnic in the park
gingham and paisley
on the first day of spring

66

new projects
a refreshing reminder:
I am good at what I do

67

Funko Pops
lining my bedroom shelves . . .
I will never have enough

68

Autolycus . . .
Ahh - tah - lick - us
Or . . . a - toy - like - us?

69

the air gets colder
the blush on the cheeks
glows brighter

70

night rooftop
squinting at the city lights
he pretends he’s somewhere else

71

Easter eggs!
kids hunting
the chase never ends

72

staring at my friend’s
mortified face . . .
I mouth “sorry”

73

music on, windows down,
we’re not even late yet, but . . .
someone has to pee.

74

crossing the line
runny nose
ah — Alabama spring

75

printer does not budge
I have an assignment due soon
maybe tomorrow?

76

walk in the park
looking at nature
through a magnifying glass

77

he is not
comparable
to a summer’s day

78

staring
into space
what was the question?

79

time passes
he forgets
her favorite color

80

in the shadows
a scarecrow
stands tall

81

Easter chaos;
gossipping at
the dinner table

82

free time
in 47 days
12 hours shifts

83

stuffed eggs
can’t wait
for her excitement

84

freshman year
party ponies & miniskirts
what's the address?

85

Easter Sunday
my 24-year-old brother and I
wake up to our baskets

86

sunbathing in the grass
people watching
they watch me back

87

wicked claws
the smell
of cigars

88

spring breeze
golden hair
lifted off her shoulders

89

zoom call,
I hear my name
time to pay attention

90

bright lights
loud sirens
her hand slips from mine

91

the bunny
masks 
the truth

92

basement laundry room
the neighbors stole
my sock
