Homework Surprise?

I listen and think
How can the thought of homework
Shock a third grader

SuperMoon Trumps Full Moon

Missed alarms, lost keys
Glass shreds on floor and counter
I blame Supermoon

Lazy Mom Syndrome

The sixth grade picnic
My store bought cupcakes next to
The homemade pop tarts

Food Guilt Wins

I cheat once a year
A gyro – but calves and lamb
should run free. I’m done.

Corporate Writing Games

Teams scream for answers
Buzz word filled pages crafted
To blur the message

Today’s Middle School

Named drawing pencils
Angry Bird inspired math grades
Welcome to sixth grade

Summer’s Lick

Sticky air slobber
All over my house and skin
I now miss winter

Checking the Box

I chase my to-dos
Batting cobwebs and fresh flames
I silence guilt’s voice

I felt one hundred and five
So I did laundry

2014 MN State Fair

After fourteen hours
Strolling eighteen State Fair miles
