The Gentle Attack

The little kitty
Tried a purr voiced lullaby
To hide clamping paws

New ‘Do

He woke my doldrums
By revamping my stale hair
When I had grown numb

Debate Fact Checking

Even kids heard them
“Facts” that sounded like tall tales
So we double-checked

Next Up: November

I felt winter’s steps
As autumn’s crisp breath transformed
Into howling gusts

Walking the Walk

A new 4th-grade job
Prompted him to try coffee
He deemed it “too weak”

Relentless Homework

The weekend flurry
Muzzled the homework alarm
Until Sunday night

Lutefisk Church Dinner

Dire hymns are sung while
The lye resurrected fish
Brace for butter floods

Fall Rain

The rain covered leaves
Swim in puddles as we drive
Sheltered from the drops

Greedy Task

Tracked the day’s list but
One line, make apple butter,
Thought it stood alone

Cookie Request

Kids wanted cookies
Pulled out vintage recipes
For their techie world
