Retro Detour

With the highway closed
I wandered through streets I left
Behind with high school

Remote Bar Hopping

He toured Seattle’s
Cocktail scene while I joined in
Via texts and pix

4th Grade Self Assessment

He listed his strengths
As math, tech support and lunch
Which he never eats

Lone Parent

Solo parent night
Involved too much House Hunters
And a sleepy cat

Personal Decorating

We played paper dolls
With snapshot filters and frames
Voila, it’s our art

Menu Blunder

I packed our dinner
But cold food was a bad choice
It can’t quell fall’s chill

Compelling Argument

Our goal: leave the house
But lazy Sunday countered
And we became slugs

The Transaction

For free time, Sunday
Plunders our Saturday night
Bequeaths to Target

Opportune Tidbit

In search of a spark
A book recommendation
Is lobbed from a friend

Lower School Science Fair

The school’s trifold maze
Commanded by mustached kids
Armed with facts and charts
