horrible crackling

heralds mangled wreckage as

the copier jams…

again.

05.30.2011

high sky of palest

blue, a flag flaps its fringed hem

in summer’s first breeze

05.29.2011

rain on my window.

tracing fractal pathways, the

drops meander down.

05.28.2011

old friend resurrects

melancholy memories

of shining days past 

when I was young and

beautiful and desired.  now

I am who I am.

  

05.27.2011

carried away on

a wave of nostalgia by  

the scent of lilacs

05.26.2011

the lake, opaque glass green,

secretive – my heart turns cold

to think of the deep.

05.25.2011

bright green trees against
a very dark sky portend
rough weather ahead

05.24.2011

love withers slowly,
blows away like so much dust.

unrequited, dies.

05.23.2011

grey lake, greyer skies
hurrying the storm away

to thunder elsewhere

05.22.2011

a hint of summer

and all lovely things to be

warm sun and blue skies

05.21.2011

fog erases the

skyline, slowly swallowing

skyscrapers top down

05.20.2011

the melancholy

call of a distant foghorn,

so tired of nagging

05.19.2011

strange blazing fireball

hovers overhead.  science

fiction?  no, the…  SUN!!!

05.18.2011

eyes flick back and forth

comparing these two spreadsheets

I’m getting sea sick!

05.17.2011

after days and days

of raging gales, blest restful

calm envelops us

05.16.2011

a fresh coat of paint

makes everything here brighter,

more welcoming, too.

05.15.2011

churned up sand has turned

the water muddy.  the lake

is fierce this morning!

05.14.2011

cold, rainy, gusty

POW – my umbrella inverts

BAM – it’s ok again

05.13.2011

what happened to May?

March has made an unwelcome

reappearance here.

05.12.2011

first I lounge a while,

then I relax, followed by

a nap.  my days off!

05.11.2011

he’s back!  mutual    

affection engendering

beautiful music

05.09.2011

my favorite kind

of vacation – doing a

whole lotta nuthin’

05.10.2011

like blue hydrangeas,

happiness bubbles up in

my heart, blooming joy

05.08.2011

a mother’s love is

deeper than nighttime itself

wider than the sky

05.07.2011

turn off the alarm.

no need to get up at all.

sleep can embrace you.

05.06.2011

all at once, it’s an

arboreal explosion

as all the trees leaf

05.05.2011

dark clouds gathering

mare's tails whip across the sky

rain racing after

05.04.2011

yummy goodness of

chocolate and banana –

gift of a smoothie

05.03.2011

dust bunnies the size

of saint bernards.  it must be

time for spring cleaning.

05.02.2011

Bin Laden is dead
I do not rejoice in the
violence of it,

but nor do I grieve

that this purveyor of hate

and death is no more.

05.01.2011

golden light pierces

the woods; dawn breaks in glory!

shoot… it’s a streetlight.

04.30.2011

I am not worthy,

but in Christ I am made so.

such good comfort there!

04.29.2011

you were created

to be a blessing.  go now –

be Christ in the world.
