New Year’s Eve: ball drop

If we look ahead
in hope, optimism,
then shouldn’t the ball rise?

New Year’s Eve: things left undone

Now’s the time to look
back at what was forgotten
and recall with love.

Easter basket

Malted milk eggs, Peeps,
solid bunnies (eaten ears
first) hide in fake grass.

Easter

What do bunnies and
chocolate have to do with
a resurrection?

Surviving St. Patrick’s Day

for Cathy

Too sick for green beer
she stayed home, watched bad films of
leprechaun horror.

Paperless Christmas

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

Christmas LED lights

Like laser pointers
they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet

Christmas cards

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

Unemployed Christmas

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

Mother’s Day

Undercooked pancakes,
misspelled cards, weeds for flowers.
Love makes them perfect.
