Movie Redo

Kids picked Pitch Perfect
Then The Breakfast Club eked out
Someday they’ll get it

School Pause

A bridge to sixth grade
Multiple field trips followed
No alarm clocks now

Floating Words

Words you allow out
As you walk out of the room
Linger after you leave

Coup d’Etat

She brought half full drinks
And a cheese plate with some scraps
Done with trendy bars

Memorial Day 2014

Alex read, I wrote
Adam taught Owen Blackjack
That was our day off

Returning Home

Our yard welcomed us
With its arms full of lilacs
We breathed in May’s gift

Alex’s Friend, Abby P.

Three kids, two are mine
The third one seems more like me
Than my own offspring

Vacation Votes

DC or Disney?
The kids declared Washington
Left Adam appalled

Nurse Kevin

Travel plans halted
Tall enough for the big rides?
Pull him out of class

Running Shoes

I bought running shoes
With visions of many miles
They failed the test run
