Fear
Silent slithering,
cold coils constrict my heart, a
. darting tongue murmurs.

Rain persistently
pelts my window, while my thoughts
trickle and puddle.

Rusty wheels screech, then
slowly turn. Bad haiku still

Review: Marie Ponsot’s Easy
Here’s a link to my review in the Sacramento Book Review of Marie Ponsot’s excellent volume of poetry, Easy.
A Bowl of Flowers
During the right seasons, my middle son often brings me flowers. Today is was a fistful of dandelions and a little lavender weed. He was delighted with his find, and his delight was contagious. I know it’s cliche, but I really do think we would all be better off if we could see the world through a child’s eyes now and again.
Great Quote
“Don’t ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
-Howard Thurman

Look Who Came to Visit Today!
We had a beautiful day here today.
Indeed, beauty was everywhere.
Apparently, it was also a good day for visitors.
This little fellow’s two friends were too cagey, but this little one let me take a picture.
And this lovely couple have been spending more and more time at the pond.
