Chicago
The Windy City
carries aloft a million

Thanksgiving – after dinner
Post-tryptophan, we
watch Forrest Gump and digest
the day’s memories.
Thanksgiving – no time for diets
Don’t count calories.
Savor silken pumpkin, tart
cranberries. Taste joy.
Thanksgiving baking
Tempting smells – so strong
they nearly satiate the
appetite – drift by.

Brine, barbecue, deep
fry, roast, smoke? How many ways
can you do one Tom?
Thanksgiving – all in the timing
I’m the kitchen air
traffic controller, and the
oven my runway.
Thanksgiving procrastination
Canned pumpkin sold out.
Damned overachievers! I’m
a “last-minute” type.
Winter landscape
First snowfall blankets
unraked beds of leaves. Nature’s
default is beauty.
