1

sunwarmed waves
isolating each
of my aches

2

biking around the neighborhood
unrecognizable street signs
the thunder starts

3

meeting the family
so many names to remember
gaining approval

4

salty kisses
across
the finish line

5

winter bride
she runs
to her groom

6

my waist grows
they say i'm beautiful
where are the others like me

7

something in my eye
he moves in
for a kiss

8

the little man jumps
in her tummy
. . . hiccup!

9

laying in bed
your head on my shoulder
time stands still

10

water splashing
kids jumping off the diving board
four more laps

11

the first date
she looks her absolute best
little does he know

12

rocking on the porch
on this sunny day
cloud in my drink

13

sweat dripping
wanting to give up
the run goes on

14

he is perfect
he is mine
dirty socks

15

I would love
a drink
fake phone number

16

mother and daughter
argue about clothes
sound cancelling headphones

17

after the rain
my sister jumps into
reflections of herself

18

legs crossed
sitting on top of a rock
eyes shut

19

at the grocery store
so many
temptations

20

flowers
blooming into something
special

21

doves flying
side by side
they go

22

heated argument
at the dinner table
I lost my appetite

23

my momma
misses her momma
lit cigarette

24

through the trees
by myself
running slow

25

on the treadmill
straight ahead
my reflection

26

high school sweethearts
ends in college
for the better

27

drive thru
his hand on my thigh
summer night

28

getting ahead
one payment at a time
flat tire

29

when you wish upon a
streetlight
the city of dreams

30

my mask hides
my unmoving mouth
at her funeral

31

radio static
their living room
becomes the dancefloor

32

keeping track
of my points
delicious glass of wine

33

recklessly my heart
on the line
one knee down

34

lift me up
in prayer
and pass me another beer

35

needles felt
her name
etched into my skin

36

twelve dead roses
sit on the desk
bourbon to the left

37

drinking alone
my lies
remain hidden

38

game night
cat paws
under the table

39

headphones in,
music on . . .
avoid judgment

40

Indie music
in my head
legs like Play-Doh

41

in the zone
tunnel vision
must. complete. workout.

42

closed blinds
cover hidden secrets
neighbors

43

sweet side
salty side
you get both

44

carefree and independent
she finds herself
with a family

45

sweet summer wine
red-stained lips
breath of honesty

46

clear my mind
breath released tension
child's pose

47

door to door
cookie trays at Christmas
sitting alone at the funeral

48

I drive by
my house, my neighborhood
no longer on my bike

49

mirror reflection
just me and you
no one else

50

dressed pretty
loud music
filling my ears

51

going to church
going home
same country road

52

farm house
three kids playing in the yard
someday

53

I miss you text
lights up my phone
deleted number

54

whirlwind howls
in the eye
I find my mind

55

just friends
she wants more
than benefits

56

eighteen sunrises
one-legged king pigeon
my hip still clicks

57

both aching arms
no wasted effort
in homemade wheat bread

58

swiping left
The Office
is not a personality trait

59

hide-n-go seek
my heart
counts to ten

60

day in the life
barking at people
waiting for the family

61

warm stage lights
my first kiss
has an audience

62

waking up early
dad pours his coffee
time to hit the road

63

i heard no music
until the music was you
all love songs are true

64

country music
summer
friends forever

65

hometown bar
looking around
who am I

66

men are trash
block his ass
you can do better

67

sitting outside
a Cardinal joins me
hi Grandma

68

beautiful day
at my grandma's grave
we share lunch

69

curved spines
all in one row
heaven isn't so far

70

good book
somewhere on a beach
I'm dreaming

71

stomach in knots
a text message
Can we talk?

72

ball bounces
off the roof
into the swimming pool

73

silver anniversary
just married
like it was yesterday

74

freshly baked bread
broken
together

75

the smell of
strong Jack Daniel's
daddy's home

76

I open the door
seemed like a good gesture
slight smile

77

sprints stink
calf cramps start
banana

78

my mourning routine
his nightly antics
one world, two species

79

finding my center
of gravity was very hard
one leg squats

80

lap cat
unaware
I breathe with her

81

walk through meadows
picnic under a lonesome tree
date

82

marine life
visible with goggles
don't trust the jellyfish

83

Amazon delivery
the new swimsuit
too cheeky

84

5 years
of endless homework—
lives to be saved
