At double arms reach:
it’s how we’ll spend this Christmas
because we love each other.

Our hearts reach beyond
our arms and in our hearts we
will hold each other.

Knox Unleashed
Romping and rolling,
fetching and catching,
splashing and dashing –
free at last
at the dog park today!

Misplaced
She’s on the lookout
for her real self.
She cannot remember
when or where
she left it.

It Just Takes One
One tree
laden with gold –
a stirring hallelujah
amidst a dirge
of gray and brown.

Part Of The Mix
Raindrops cling
to outstretched branches
adding sparks
and twinkles
to an otherwise gray day.

No Lag Time
Looking around for
any available friend,
Knox spots a squirrel
and off he goes, dragging me
reluctantly behind him.

It’s All In Where You Look
Knox and I stop by the woods
on a non- snowy evening and look up.
Things aren’t sparkling down here,
but up there? Sparkles everywhere!

Au Contraire?
Never say never
is an oxymoron if
I ever heard one,
but even oxymorons
can sometimes be of comfort.

Warm Consolation
When the snow
we were expecting
turns out to be rain,
the fire brings us
comfort just the same.

Don We Now
The past three days we’ve stepped outside
in a variety of garb –
short sleeved shirts and blouses,
slick rain apparel,
woolen scarves and winter coats.
Soon we might add snow boots
just to keep us on our toes.
