Rumbles of thunder
promise that soon fat raindrops
will bring refreshment.

Last days of school
Nobody wants to
be there. Even the teachers
sit, watching the clock.
First job
At the interview
J’s hired on the spot, full of
new employee glee.
Job search
Panera’s didn’t
call, nor Applebee’s. Rejec-
tion’s hard at sixteen.
J’s prom dress
She said she felt like
a fairy princess, draped in
blue with beaded swirls.
Honey, I’m home!
Has it really been
a month since I told you all
about my day, dear?
Daughters on Mother’s Day
J replaced my mouse
that broke. M’s card made me cry.
Both my greatest gift.
Senior Ball
Formally over
twelve years of learning to look
good on this one night.
College graduation
Cap, gown, diploma,
degree. A sense of self the
take-away that counts.
Mother’s Day
Undercooked pancakes,
misspelled cards, weeds for flowers.
Love makes them perfect.
