pity poor granddad
already forgets where he
hid the Easter eggs
Month: March 2018
1817
my cats have health care
free food— great to be a pet
in America
1816r
so, was lazarus
a zombie— sudden silence
at easter dinner
1815♥️
fasting and penance
for my cardiac exam
Good Friday morning
1814
ice cream man
plays three blind mice
still too cold
1813
a heap of dead leaves
swarms of midges rising up
beginning of spring
1812👹☠️
just sitting at home
their nets try to snag me
scams, cons, and hustles
1811
nest decorations
threads, ribbon, a wedding ring
magpies’ honeymoon
1810
sad as when a cat
jumps out of my lap
I rather she stayed
1809
above the breakers
crescent moons of all colors
kite surfers dangle
1808
leaves flooding the porch
incoming tide of karma
time to pray and sweep
1807
bristling cat ears
aimed at the garden
songbird frequencies
1806
mockingbirds mock me
get up, walk around outside
others still snowed in
1805
countless shades of green
spilling through the leaves
spangles of sunlight
1804
branches of pale birch
striped with shadows
of the taller trees
1803
woodpecker flips to
full automatic fire
his beak is a blur
1802
herds of white-tail deer
marching on the Capitol
end the violence
1801
blackbirds, help me watch
my grandson at the playground
he’s so much faster
1800
grandfather blackbird
not around to baby sit
emails his regrets
1799
up late with netflix
now to sleep with images
of carnage and death
