Vacationing in Portland

Good-bye to Sorels
Hello to the food truck town
A break from real life

School Night Choice

She pushed off homework
To shop in the quiet mall
Nudged her comfort zone

Offspring Perspective

With his deadpan voice
“I would like a normal mom”
“What’s that?” – “It’s not you”

2014 Annual Book

Photo book was set
Haiku blurbs trim the pages
Left moments behind

Start of Winter

The roads are just wet
But we tell ourselves they’re ice
November’s drama

Sounds of Winter

As Jack Frost moves in
I walk past the whiney cars
Singing winter blues

Annual Photo Book 2014

Murder our darlings
To capture the year’s story
Which photos will win?

Hibernation

Darkness knocks the day
Into the cold, damp cellar
While I fight off sleep

On Autopilot

The day pushes me
Silently through the worn path
Vacation awaits

Early November Snow

In Minnesota
Drivers panic at first snow
Abandoned work cubes
