Being a silly girl

An affectation,
but it’s cute, and she is for
given many sins.

Knitting project

Fat balls of yarn crowd
my home like clawless kittens,
needling me to start.

Anticipation

Making travel plans,
like getting dressed for a date,
is a leap of faith.

After the storm

Inside the snowglobe
winter’s still life settles as
flakes swirl in the air.

Let it snow

Summer’s sizzle leaves
me cold. Instead, winter’s white
embrace warms my heart.

Embrace

Some men hug, but G
envelopes, holds tight, then gives
back more than he takes.

J’s sense of style

She’d buy Free People,
match and mismatch carelessly,
revel in oddball.

Urban Outfitters

J’s Pied Piper calls.
Mecca of offbeat fashion,
she shops in a daze.

Improv Olympics

They create out of
nothing whole scenes, entertain
from mere suggestions.

Chicago

The Windy City
carries aloft a million
dreams on fierce updrafts.
