pain of raising kids
dew glistening on fresh grass
a passing solace

my poor toddler
buttons always misbuttoned
socks always mismatched
2280
infant cries and cries
I know how you feeI– I could
cry the whole night, too
2278
for posterity
my leather bound poetry
the grandkid pukes on
2275
rainy school drop off
other kids wear bright slickers
mine has a cloth sack
2274
rambunctious grandchild
tramples through the lily pond
one lotus survives
2256
my elderly aunt
updates me on every ache
winter and life brings
2246
juggling coffee
and four month old baby
my retirement
2239
relatives descend
politics are forbidden
bless us one and all
2230
woof woof my grandson
scurries on all fours— species
still undecided
2226
amid swings and slides
leader of the pack howling
jungle boy grandson
2223
thirty years alone
hermit and his pond
his kids are moving in
2197
already my aunt
looks forward to gifts
she can get refunds
2195
whispers, whispers
a teapot’s tempest
beginning to shrill
2192
a grandmother sings
a Japanese lullaby
rocking her i-phone
