Longing to hug them,
I wait ’til they flutter near
like moths to my flame.

Retail therapy
Drove to the city
to shop eat sushi buy fun
things that make us smile.
Beading obsession
Handful of turquoise
begs to be strung with silver
draped around my neck.
Vintage style
Grey army trenchcoat
or lime green sixties jacket
J can pull off both.
Winter break
We sleep late and do
little. Spend quality time.
Together, enough.
Leap year
February’s haste
to usher in an early
March slowed by one day.
Lunar eclipse
Luminous suitor,
the moon dimmed by darkness’s
seductive regard.
When she’s sick
Teenager curled up
becomes baby J who’s glad
that mommy’s nearby.
haiku envy
greatness revealed in
the sound of splinters, words that
pierce my jealous eyes.
Delayed gratification
Let delight ripen
into a sweet juicy pear
True joy takes patience.
