Let’s take a break from

our worries to take in

Spring’s bright blossoming.

JDG

Tiny bits of sun

have fallen onto our lawn

and put down their roots.

JDG

March’s offerings in Virginia

snow, ice, sleet, tornadoes, rain

and temperatures in the twenties

and eighties. Variety is nice, but

this is way too much.

JDG

Before I even

walk through the door the dogs start

barking their welcome.

JDG

Determined no seed

would go to waste, those small birds

pecked and pecked til there were none.

JDG

Narratives, our own,

and others’, are often not

seen as the constructs they are.

JDG

I was well prepared

for the big storm that wasn’t,

but much less prepared

for the mini storms of my

ordinary, daily life.

JDG

Prepared as we can be

and waiting for a storm

we hope won’t come.
