when mom makes the bed
she wallops all the monsters
super powers
children
Dizzy
child on a swing
twirling herself dizzy
fallen leaves skitter by

a new planet appears
child’s play

Ball on the Roof
child’s ball on the roof
ever-bright reminder
daring gone too far
Child’s Play
looking for her ball
she claps her hands in delight
here’s her little purse
Case Closed
I’ve closed the case
on my folks’ musical hopes
sour notes linger
Snow Angels
snow angel girls
brush feathers from their faces
with snow-caked mitts
Welcome Mat
our childhood home
the welcome mat
never fades
First Day
first day in class
brand new workbooks
a new ruler
Swimming Hole
the swimming hole
dipping once more
into summer fun
