April snow flurries
we compose stories
of people we've fired
..................pdm
daffodils nodding
in the cool breeze
.........bp
Middle East conflict
the Administration ponders
a next move
..................rdg
checkmate
time for another beer
.........pdm
wolf moon
icicles gleaming
in its pale glow
..................bp
skating rink
two lesbians embrace
.........rdg
a passionate kiss
I miss
the goal of the century
..................pdm
Super Bowl champs
come home triumphant
.........bp
the ant
drags a dead dragonfly
across the driveway
..................rdg
mailman arrives
to a chorus of dog barks
.........pdm
kayaking at day's end
the paddle dips
into the sunset
..................bp
rose garden
their wedding day
.........rdg
second honeymoon
twelve hours
of restful sleep
..................pdm
holding hands in silence
leaves cracking under our feet
.........bp
hiking the trail
howls from the den
under a full moon
..................rdg
an e-mail reminds me
to turn back the clock
.........pdm
high school reunion
confessing his crushes
to all his old flames
..................bp
gypsy children sing
"teach me tonight"
.........rdg
spring morning
a robin
calls to its mate
..................pdm
tree limbs swaying
tumescent with new buds
.........bp
