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

Annual Photo Book 2014

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

Unwanted Visitor

As we track the storm
We light the birthday candles
Before snow busts in

Birthday Party Sounds

After rock climbing
Voices of five boys erupt
In a tiny room

An Odd Birthday Gift

Alex hates pizza
But on her brother’s birthday
She gave up the fight

Winter Preview

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

Sidewalk Obstacle Course

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

TV Bait

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

Car Bubble

With work squabbles and
Kids just being kids, I need
Some silent drive time
