Eyes closed
Shiver of cold
Valiant heart is beating.
Soothing hands
Familiar scent

Warm breeze
Tickles the nose
Open gate is waiting.
Golden sun

My favorite skirt ripped last night as my son, 11, helped me take the clothes off the twisted rope hanging across my backyard. It caught on the rough tin edge of the garden shed as I swung it from line . . . more

My youngest son, 9, dragged my sewing machine across the living room floor. I heard it before I saw it, heard the bump and lurch of white metal scrape old oak.

My youngest son, 9, turns 10 in a few days. He woke me an hour ago.

We are washed out with winter's rain
Pushed along by Santa Anna Winds
Winter's mild smile hidden today
As we roll out on our whims
Road trip riding up the coast
Ignite friendship's eternal . . . more

Ioni's Lesson
Lifeless silence loomed in echoed valleys below,
Streaming, breathless, the river runs along the banks
Windless and unrippled, frozen, encapsulated,
For no longer, fallen silent, the . . . more

“A Cherished Moment” ©
The old man grimaced
At the thought of being kind
But the sweetness of the moment
Pureed a promising smile
From his calloused lips

Our cars and our stars all look the same
What happened to originality who can explain?
Our art is defined by the greed of the market
Cash flow charts and the big box office

Racism is alive and well today. And my family and I have been a victim of it. Guilt by association.

How can I profess to love . . . more
