The ticking clock
The clock, on the tabletop, was an inspiration this morning. A quick poem and I’m off…time is ticking away.
Goodbye Robert E. Lee
Cast in bronze
Astride your horse, Traveler
While cars circle around you all day
And into the night
You stand tall–a familiar sight
A landmark
A work of art.
Beware.
The memory of you
Has tarnished.
There’s a brand new perspective
Recasting you.
Goodbye
Robert E. Lee

May this Day Be Good
Show me some round women
not those stick figures
of our youth.
Bring me a grandmother
so she make speak
softly
and comfort me
tell me a story
and laugh with me
then send me on my way
warmer
stronger
loved
Seeking
I searched everywhere
under the sun
and moon
for you
until you found me

Virginia March
March in Virginia has a cool warmth to the air.
I remember a morning like this,
walking to the bus stop,
wearing a red coat.
Maybe I noticed the birds,
the trees with bare limbs
and the few flowers
that had begun to show in the yards.
Perhaps not.
But today I did
and blended it
with that memory
of long ago.
A good day beginning.

Wishes
Close your eyes
Make a wish
And an offering
Now walk away
It is done.
