Lost cell phone

Left in Manhattan
cab. Friends’ numbers, pix of my
kids in strangers’ hands.

I’ve lied to you

A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,
some days it’s bone dry.

Bad choice for the Oscars

Could Cameron Diaz
maybe have done her hair? That
ponytail  so wrong.

Headache

Accomplished nothing
’til I took Motrin a whip
that tamed this tiger

Undone

Intention shines high
above like a star I see
and dream of reaching.

Packing for vacation

separating the
non-essential from the much
needed is painful.

Christmas triage

Not enough time for
cookies, cards, decorating.
Which one do I skip?

Clean sweep

My spare bedroom holds
many possibilities
under all that junk.

Knitting project

Fat balls of yarn crowd
my home like clawless kittens,
needling me to start.

Unproductive

Inertia roosting
inside me like a hen un-
willing to lay eggs.
