Wind howling today
There are waves in the birdbath
We have surfing birds

On Guard
Many years ago
I wore upon my feet
boots of leather
issued by Uncle Sam
He also saw to it
I had a ride
and many things to carry
My time in green
was not remarkable
or heroic
or
a cause for celebration
I was like so many
I served
I left
I remembered
I look upon those who followed
They had a harder time
I look upon those before me
They were humble heroes, too
What’s Soup?
Butternut squash bisque
Blender outsmarted the cook
Messy bisque-aster!
The Joy of Clarity
Freshly cleaned glasses
Windex upon spectacles
Crystal clear peepers
A Barnburner
The Rose Bowl was wild
Big plays for both teams all game
USC won it
Hand Feeding
Birdseed held in hand
You need to wait patiently
Feeding chicadees
Day 366
Another year has come and gone
We got things right
We got things wrong
Yes, we thought it wouldn’t end
But raise a toast
We made it, friend!
Choosing Your Name
Confirmation name
Yes, it has to be a saint
Your turn to choose, son
Oath of Office
They have sworn an oath
Faithful service is promised
God, give them wisdom
Limping To The Finish
This year’s almost done
It’s been a tough one, for sure
Just keep driving on
