Watching after 2 am

TV morphs into
loser land infomercials
for acne weight loss

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.

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.

Panasonic possibilities

Got a new camera.
What moments will it capture
in pixels and bytes?

When she’s sick

Teenager curled up
becomes baby J who’s glad
that mommy’s  nearby.

haiku envy

greatness revealed in
the sound of splinters, words that
pierce my jealous eyes.

You look great

Bright lipstick fools them
into thinking I’m well. No
“How do you feel?”

Election Poll Inspector

My civic duty
called. Yesterday, I answered.
Pat, Ossie, Art helped.
