in her locker
the customer service rep
drops her plastic smile
people
Loud
choir girl’s blouse
so loud you can hear it
above the preacher
Assorted
our clan gathers
around the festive table
assorted squares and nuts
Pity Party Bliss
she adores violins
tales of woe and heartaches past
pity party bliss
I’ll dedicate this to a former coworker who always seemed pleased if she had some bad news to relate, like if a family member snubbed her or a coworker was having problems. One day in late October I listened to her telling various customers that it was going to storm, we were going to get a heap of snow, and the weather would be miserable all winter. All proclaimed with great delight. Go figure.)
Election Time
our country’s leaders
sport a new banner — same words
apple pie in the sky
Neon Green
Haikus of Shoes VII
neon green soles
black tops pass before my eyes
quiet girl, loud feet
