Last day of the year

Where did they go? Wake.
Eat. Work. Pay bills. Each the same.
Days blink by, all gone.

College acceptance letters

Envelope size, thick
or thin. We look for clues, don’t
like to be surprised .

Hair stylist issues

Bad trim, worse blow dry.
Pitying looks from strangers.
Do I cut and run?

Add New Post

Neglected, ignored.
Like faithful dogs, blogs wait for
their masters’ return.

 

 

Doing too much at Disneyworld

At the Happiest
Place on Earth, worn-out tots shriek,
deprived of their naps.

Time management in Disneyworld

Fastpass, Magic Hours,
maximizing each for the
most fun possible.

Two actors eating lunch

Intense chemistry
onstage. In real life, silent,
eyes not quite meeting.

Deciding not to go to Junior Prom

“I just want to feel
pretty,” she says through her tears.
She already is.

Cold snap

Lulled by summer’s false
start, forty degrees reminds
us that April lies.

Undone

Pulling apart a
life together, the future
frays like a cut edge.
