Capturing Our Year

I stare at the fonts
Nestling photos on the page
To trap the right mood

HS Band Concert

We dropped him at band
And walked through cold mushy grass
Stole a mini-date

Photo Book Research

Read the year’s haiku
Backyard nights, cats, sedition
Just inches apart

Too Much Time at Home

She’s perched on my neck
I try not to disrupt her
Meeting, meet my cat

After Dinner Nap

Overcast Monday
Yanked me into a night nap
The clock tapped its foot

Parenting Returns

Kids returned today
One back from South Dakota
The other Facetimed

Social Saturday

A low-key dinner
As the first snow flakes float down
Our topics raced by

Mirage

The empty weekend
Is what I spy on Friday
As Saturday plots

Time Served

After six long weeks
Crutches lean against the wall
The boy walks freely

Pushed Towards Winter

The wind strips fall’s leaves
Ripping down our painted views
Haunted branches loom
