It’s raining outside.
Inside I’m all smiles as
I’ve done my exercises.

Something To Bank On
They came dancing in,
those dark-haired twins, ages three
or so, and gave each
of us in the bank a hug.
We all left feeling richer.

Day 137 -The If Onlys
If only the flab
would melt as fast as the snow…
If only I had
started sooner…but here I
am now with renewed resolve.

Snow Removal?
Lingering snow, its cold beauty gone, can’t
accept its time
has passed. It
still hangs
on.

Day 136 – Weighing The Options
Sometimes it’s not fun,
but I always feel better
when I’m finally done.

Minus Five In Virginia
No cold snap this – more
like an icy thunderbolt
echoing too long.

Bridging The Generational Divide
My tongue is raw from biting;
my cheeks swell with
unsolicited, sage advice.
True, I do very little talking.
My granddaughter,
in turn, does very little balking.
Our lunch together is
an unreal, but satisfying, success.

Day 135 – One Can But Work And Hope
Perhaps soon the prose
of exercise will become
the poetry of motion.

Winter Woes
Seized by inertia.
Don’t know if it’s that I’m old
or just freezing cold.

Winter Swirl
Across the stilled pond
snow slid in a sideways dance
with wind, its unsteady partner.
