1

chucking rocks
finally
one skips

2

scared of the dark
sister just down
the hall

3

pillow talk at
2 am
drunk giggles

4

vase never empty
although you are
gone

5

shoe boxes everywhere
each one holds
a new story

6

one dollar
two of us
we make it work

7

dribble, crossover
shoes squeaking 
swish

8

goalkeeper's firm grip
of the penalty kick
net remains untouched

9

rumors spread
call after call
leaving us lost

10

home alone
quiet as a mouse
floor creaks

11

summer . . .
cool days are
the best days

12

Taylor Swift sings
backseat of your car
new love blossoms

13

vacation photos
flood my instagram
as I sit at work

14

straightening up
flowers placed
the dead baby’s grave

15

traffic jam all day 
horns honk 
bumper to bumper 

16

the smell of the popcorn 
not a great breakfast 
but she’s eating 

17

the thumping
form the music
the floor above

18

the noise of his t.v.
he yells though the players
cannot hear him

19

snow in my face
flying down the mountain
what a rush

20

trees moving outside 
on a early morning 
just watching

21

sitting in the kitchen
the small noise 
is the refrigerator

22

piano keys—
one of them
has no sound

23

abstract perspective
my tall walls
surround me

24

staring at my backpack
all of the places
I've never gone

25

her eyes beg
at his lips
for a goodnight kiss

26

watching the fiery sunset
a long conversation
with myself

27

making it home
before the clock
strikes midnight

28

hot air balloon
landing in a field
of red poppies

29

patient losing blood
no transfusion ordered
Jehovah Witness

30

heart jolts to a stop
his hand lingers
on her thigh

31

yellow brick road
a toad 
on my slippers

32

grass prickles my skin
rolling over every inch
to scratch a new itch

33

wave after wave
I crash into
you

34

mower rests in shade 
his old man limp
to get the mail 

35

moonlight on my smile  
unique as the stars above  
proud of who I am

36

whispers in the wind 
footsteps fading into night 
gone without a trace

37

crystal clear
no wind
thoughts swim with the fish

38

throwback music
Saturday mornings
cleaning everything

39

shoot the layup
fouled
another opportunity

40

childhood bedroom
walls empty
clothes in boxes

41

ball bounce
shoe squeak
peace at last

42

his trembling words
race in my mind
my heart beats

43

the children 
run to take cover
fireworks burst

44

invisibility 
is what i wish 
I could be

45

broken smile 
closed mouth 
afraid to speak

46

generations blend
stories shared around the fire
roots grow deep and strong

47

she wanted help
now it's too late
pink casket spray

48

scrubbing the floors
crystal clear
a footprint trail

49

miles between us 
all worth it when
I touch your face again

50

coffee scent fills air
morning warmth in silent sips
calm reflection time

51

lecture hall whispers 
pens scratching on paper  
back at work 

52

freshly bleached hair
tan skin and French tips
he doesn’t notice

53

10, 9, 8 . . .
slipping away
under the knife

54

gazing out the window
the world below
so small

55

little pink pig
missing an eye
a stepmother's love

56

pink satin lingerie
tied into a knot
my blankie "Robey"

57

standing and waiting
balloons in hand
empty birthday party

58

cast a line
reel it in
let it go

59

lifting the pain
away
another day at the gym

60

goodnight 
another night sleeping alone 
I can’t sleep

61

fourth quarter
down by two
i’m shooting the three

62

snap, crackle, pop
my favorite time
in the day

63

panic attack . . .
I close the curtains
in my new home

64

him in one room
I in mine
crickets between us

65

snow cones
a kaleidoscope of color
stains my face

66

moonlight
blocked out
shining Paris lights
