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.

Winter break

We sleep late and do
little. Spend quality time.
Together, enough.

Leap year

February’s haste
to usher in an early
March slowed by one day.

Lunar eclipse

Luminous  suitor,
the moon dimmed by darkness’s
seductive regard.

Not-quite-snow day

Magician’s magic
weather trick. One degree – rain
turns to ice. School closed.

February thaw

Snow releases its
grip as small drops melt merge run
in noisy trickles.

Misty mountain hop

Dawn the breath of a
new day paused when night exhales
sunrise dimmed by fog.

Chenay Bay – Second night

Green flash at Sunset
Grill on Sprat Hall Beach. Then dined
in lush tropic style.
