Treading Water
March 24, 2026
Ah, but she had
a fecund sense of humor
when not treading tearful
waters in the Bleak.💔

Winter, to Spring ~
March 24, 2026
Winter’s fare-thee-well
Spring twines the heart with blossoms
Heaven’s fragrant dew
fresh hope that prayers be answered
for all loved ones, world around

Silver’d Sliver Moon

Silver’d sliver moon
pin smallest wishes to it
miracles, must pray
light crescent can’t bear burden
of Earth’s strange unwieldy ways

Cherry Blossoms & Snow
March 14, 2026
I told them twice
I told them nice
but they ignore
my yearly advice
to wait till Spring
their faces, show!
brave fools, they are
my cherry blossoms…
but lovely, yes, amid March snow ~

Gentle Rain
March 7, 2026
Sovereign’s steady hand
pours gentle rain of blessing
tastes like coming spring
though chilly gray it’s welcome
singing prayers of gratitude

Hagar & the Hand-Vac
March 6, 2026
She bought a hand-vac
red as lipstick hookers wear
but not her, never
Dude said it was powerful
could suck up a good-size cat
she had no cat, so
selling point was lost on her
Home, she plugged it in
pressed it against her temple
praying memories be gone
~ Hagar

Imagination
March 2, 2026
Poem from Hagar:
Imagination
sparkling gift, wealth of childhood…
it brush-paints long days
pours hourglass full…illusions
spiced honey panacea–
Harsh-edged Time erodes
warps veneer…Reality
bared leaves soul at risk

Moonrise

Pearlescent moonrise
February’s parting gift
of chill remembrance

To Be Seen At Last (limerick)
February 25, 2026
So joyful Sue was, to be picked for the cast
but her mother stared daggers, completely aghast
“you’ll NOT be half-dressed, a disgrace on the stage–
when your father finds out, you’ll catch heat of his rage!”
Sue couldn’t help smiling–Dad would see her at last ♥ ~
