Project Runway

Cut pin stitch fabric
stretch confines of clothing to
become catwalk art.

Women artists

Hands on hip, baby,
sketchbook. Diapering, drawing,
birthing creation.

Impatience

Why they don’t do it
my way I can’t understand
’cause I’m always right.

Writer friend

When she’s not funny
her raw candor grips readers
probing her deep wounds.

Levenger

Fine fountain pens, ink,
leather folders make work seem
like gracious living.

Doing the laundry

Subterranean
hum of spinning drums cleansing
my dirty stained life.

Paperless Christmas

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

Christmas cards

Photos we look bad
in. Braggy newsletter. That’s
how we keep in touch.

Silence

You don’t notice the
absence of sound until you
strain to hear something.

Unemployed Christmas

Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments –
fragile, out of reach.
