February dilemma

What of those born on
the 29th, their birthday
once every four years?

Mom’s casual embrace

Longing to hug them,
I wait ’til they flutter near
like moths to my flame.

Retail therapy

Drove to the city
to shop eat sushi buy fun
things that make us smile.

Beading obsession

Handful of turquoise
begs to be strung with silver
draped around my neck.

Vintage style

Grey army trenchcoat
or lime green sixties jacket
J can pull off both.

Johnny the homicidal maniac

The Director’s Cut
in her hands M reads snuggled
with her Uglydoll.
