Holiday pageant
The falling snow
let’s me know
very clearly
that winter has merely
begun the show.

Stellar
The quiet sight
of a moonless night
leaves the world still
and feeling the thrill
of a vision in starlight.

Our song
The striking of a single note
has my memory reading rote
the story of the love we lost,
and the lesson of what it cost
to keep myself afloat.

The easy way out
A little litany,
an eager epiphany,
a false road
that the people strode
toward ignominy.

Roller coaster
Who knows
why they chose
another love –
maybe they were sick of
our highs and lows.

Outlet
Bitter condemnations
lead to tearful frustrations,
and all our ranting
and gallivanting
yield no consolations.

All tapped out
Man, this heat
has got me beat,
so I tell the sun,
“OK, you won!
I admit defeat!”

Soundtrack
Window-washin’ all day long
while whistling a cheery song,
and each and every graceful note
helps to keep my heart afloat
and reminds me to stay strong.

Crepes
Savory or sweet,
you’re in for a treat
when you take a bite
out of a crepe tonight
(but try not to overeat).

Weired wisdom
This I know:
you reap what you sow
when you seek an “upstream” life
and invite struggle and strife
rather than going with the flow.
