vast
meadow
of spring sunshine
girlfriends under the old oak
two
picnic benches
robin song
through the leaves
cool
cement under my back
over the phone
we name the stars
romantic
picnic by the pond
spider interrupts
sun’s
best friend
watches over
our peaceful night
open
window lets in the rain
her lullaby
•
walking
trail
dogwood blossoms
catch the sun
baby
discovers a butterfly
in her stroller
water
splashing
over a branch
frog’s Niagara
her
first homerun
across the
homemade plate
lovers
emerge
from the trees
caught
wrong
turn
pizza delivery
in the cemetery
•
dusk
red sky welcomes
the moon
shiny
headstone
her name
next to his
mom’s
Marlboro’s
exhaling
into sunbeams
achoo!
bees buzz
open blossoms
muddy
field
mom consoles
her teary pitcher
scent
of lilacs after the rain
from his
headstone
•
his
platform
the old tree stump
first magic tricks
slowing
motorcycle
she climbs
on back
attacking
my pencil
pesky fly . . .
under my notebook
clean
garden tools
beside my
dying plants
hopscotch
colored rain
slides down the driveway
skateboarders
on the half pipe
new tattoos
•
on
the park bench
she peels her orange
ants picnic
girlfriends
in the park
summer dreams
begonia
seedlings
six inches apart
room to grow
he
chases her through the garden
squirrels
in love
silver
moon
a curved sliver
behind wispy clouds
among
fallen leaves
periwinkles
•
white
spring clouds
sail
between blue and green
daddy’s
kite
tugs small
fingers
first
spring rain
walking home
earthworms line the pavement
brick
wall on display
the tree’s
silhouette
afternoon
jog
avoiding the dog poop
cherry blossoms
warm
wind ushers in spring
His masterpiece
