Monday Morning Bright
the day crisp blue above
the bright white of roofs spied from
my window, where I’m caught
in a sea of dull white paper

Sunday Breakfast at the Greek Resto
a grey day with light snow
calls for two eggs sunnyside up
the only yellow orb on the horizon for today
alongside crisp bacon, homefries, short stack
and the sweet slow slide of syrup
a plate of tummy-filling yum!

Saturday Alarm Clock
a paw poke and a batted eye
the sound of small toys on nightstand
as they fall into the waiting waste basket
that fuzz-pants cat gets his message out
whether the clock chimes or not
Tojo, my fuzzy-pants alarm clock.
I figured I should catch up while I had a chance, so here are stones for the 2nd through 4th, all inspired by our National Capital Region snow, and the icy cold temps that we’re having right now!
Furry Things
hibernate in winter, safe
under layers of soft brown
we shiver inside our skins
turn dials to crank up the heat

Sun Bright against Blue
intense that sky, white clouds
mirror the snow piled high
our house burrows into it

Discarding Christmas
wadded torn and tattered wrap.
skeletons of Christmas trees, all
their finery packed away, only
errant icicles still cling to boughs,
perhaps a bit of tinsel, all waiting
leftovers to feed the garbage truck
