New Year’s Eve: things left undone

Now’s the time to look
back at what was forgotten
and recall with love.

Chicago skyscrapers

Though Burnham’s Folly’s
in New York, he saved his best
for his hometown dreams.

Radio interview

You ask, I answer.
Opinions fly. No right, wrong.
It’s all subjective.

Haiku diary

Complex moments break
down into vignettes when brief
words define their state.

Candid confessions of a college-aged daughter

“I’m telling you but
don’t worry, I’m fine,” she says.
I listen, but do.

Best day ever

Post-audition, she
was mobbed with requests, star-to-
be in student films.

Friendship

She may have faults but
to me she’s flawless, a me
I wish I could be.

Paperless Christmas

Being green we use
fabric bags old boxes to
wrap gifts. No trees die.

Away too long

Stories always tell
of the one who wanders, then
returns home…like me.

She watches me…

…create. Impatient
that I won’t pay attention
when I’m writing stuff.
