iPhone Setup

With new phone in hand
Sold on its efficiencies
Trapped in store process

Thwarted Mission

With journal in hand
We captured our night’s hurdles
Before they go mute

Winter Preview

The kids wore sweatshirts
I warned that the walk was long
They ignored, then froze

Monday Montage

The Monday mishaps
Like sputtering coffee pots
Zigzag through the mines

Warm Weather Companions

Started as green buds
They shared our summer until
Petrified by fall

Sidewalk Obstacle Course

I dodged little kids
As they dressed up for candy
I just wanted lunch

First School Dance

Picked her up at nine
Words cascaded from her mouth
Took a breath at ten

Changing Seasons

As we played football
Leaves crinkled under our feet
I breathe in the change

TV Bait

It was much too late
But then House Hunters appeared
Bedtime is for kids

Trapped in a Rut

He is turning nine
And feels bored or worse boring
First step: room revamp
