Solomon Juneau
placid gaze over the lake
my boon companion

03.30.2011

still cold outside but

warm sun caresses my face,

welcome touch of spring

03.29.2011

walking thru downtown
I saw a fox this morning
he looked right at me!

03.28.2011

grand conveyances –
municipal buses that
take us everywhere

03.27.2011

gorgeous in black and

white.  Metropolis

restored at the Times

03.26.2011

the best baby boy
born twenty-five years ago,
my own sweetest Jack

03.24.2011

ice on the sidewalk
I'm walking like a geisha
unexpected freeze

03.23.2011

a soft day today
with fine mist mizzling down,

blessing growing things

03.22.2011

cold, raw, blustery

wind whipping up whitecaps – the  

angry face of spring

03.21.2011

they said it was a

“super moon” the other night,

close and big and bright

03.20.2011

thunder booms above

as rain sluices down my back.

our first good spring storm!

03.19.2011

driving in the car,

heading down to Chi-town.  we

bop down the highway

03.18.2011

end of an era

well-loved memories flooding

sold the family home.

03.17.2011

button box, banjo,

penny whistle and singing –

a hootenanny!

03.16.2011

Tom is here!  fun times

with Mom & Pop – much laughter

ahead guaranteed

03.15.2011

the trees hold their breath,
wait for just the right moment.
anticipating.

03.14.2011

make me skinny, just

like that.  photoshop away –

digital magic

03.13.2011

no paint-the-town red,

titian, auburn, or orange.

a redhead no more.

03.12.2011

regular poem

appears daily, like clockwork

punctual haiku

03.11.2011

noises muffled in

my cocoon of quietude –

I love my ear plugs

03.10.2011

toady to the rich

at the expense of workers

some folks have no shame.

ignorant?  evil?

what’s the difference when we

have to pay the price?

03.09.2011

a downtown cloister –

city sounds muffled by a

snowy tapestry

03.08.2011

insidiously,

evil casts its ghastly pall,

suffocating joy.

03.07.2011

lovely, lovely sleep –

the sweet arms of morpheus

embrace me in dreams

03.06.2011

castle of the kings

jewel of tipperary

rising from the plains

03.05.2011

icicles hang from

eaves and gutters, melting snow

arrested mid-drip

03.04.2011

piles of dirty snow

melting into twisted shapes

like zombie sno-cones

03.03.2011

my office neighbor

a habitual talker,

constantly yapping

trombone voice assaults

my ears, a constant barrage

SHUT UP ALREADY!!!

just had to vent!  :-D

03.02.2011

the cat sees a squirrel.

tail maniacally twitching,

she’s ready to pounce

03.01.2011

feels like spring is just

around the corner, peeking,

giggling, teasing.
