Meditative mind

Silence erases
thoughts and stress like dry markers
wiped clean from white boards.

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.

Edward Scissorhands

A-Depp-t cult classic
fairy tale, gothic icon
all rolled into one.

Winter landscape

First snowfall blankets
unraked beds of leaves. Nature’s
default is beauty.

Overdone do

If her hair was much
bigger you’d mistake it for
blonde cotton candy.

Second life

In another world
I am prettier, skinny,
naturally blonde.

Panera’s

Cup of coffee gets
you free wireless. Suburban
pretty people lunch.

Same old lament

National TV
talk show called me to be a
guest. What will I wear?

Motivation

Decided last night –
Caribbean for Christmas.
Will work for travel.
