A splash of sunlight

at day’s end ignites the trees

and our rain soaked souls.

Sunny skies greet us.

Who would ever think big storms

 are headed our way?

                                                      JDG

Power outages

at home and in the senate –

an unfunny Valentine.

                                       JDG

Among missed chances,

a promising beginning –

it won’t be long now.

                                                 JDG

Belly, lungs, and heart

join together to soothe brain’s

 self-created pain.

A quiet Christmas –

by late afternoon only

the wind could be heard.

                                         JDG

A burst of sunlight

after a cold day of rain –

magic mood changer.

                                  JDG

Up with the squirrels,

out with the dog, keeps me in

shape during this break.

                                                   JDG

We can help create

the new normal by voting

for reason and care.

                                              JDG

Knock, knock, who’s there? Knox.

Knox who? It’s the pits. No Bull.

I need a home too.
