Pinging against glass
Tiny shards of H2O
Blizzard precursor

Ugh, separation
Time apart by circumstance
Weekend coming soon

Inside a boardroom
While deep darkness falls outside
Strategies discussed

Sudden flash of spring
No furnace needed; too hot
A day without hose

Fuzzy and laughing
Henson brainchildren of joy
Dancing through my dreams

Much like the monarch
I remain ensconced in warmth
Blanketed cocoon

11/24/06

Tiny felt faces
Painted vivid expressions
Disturbed home decor

11/23/06

Giving thanks, indeed
Parades, football, so much food
Friends and family near

Decider pardon
Flyer and Fryer, their names
Not men, but turkeys

11/21/06

Giving thanks: easy
Giving of oneself: harder
Being there is best

Terror in their hearts
Carts clutched under white knuckles
Modern turkey hunt

What accomplishment?
Progress is secondary
Wake up: 5; Brunch: noon

A blah day, she said
Unremarkable, drowsy
PJs, where are you?

Laughter fills the room
Games: truth or dare and skip-bo
Friday night for friends

Anticipation
Countdowns begin, silence falls
Not Santa, Friday

Incompatible
Cardboard boxes and wetness
Melting the contents

The clock betrays me
The morning has said adieu
Far too few hours

11/13/06

Moving through the night
Piloting his Eloise
I'm stationary

Technical marvel
Save the date - polite request
Displayed on the fridge

Lurking very near
Causes shivers - get the coats
Stay in bed for warmth

11/10/06

Potted meat fans swarm
Under a red antique sky
View killer rabbit

Beggin' and pleadin'
Drawn to the red and green sign
Sigh, be still my heart!

A weary traveler
Planes, trains, and automobiles
Exhaustion lingers

Holidays must end
So says capitalism
Livelihood beckons

11/6/06

Screwdrivers in hand
Foam board and staples thwart us
New art brightens room

Welcome back, old friends
Shown to the door by Ivan
Sea oats have returned

11/4/06

Echoes at the pool
Children happily at play?
No, adults fuming

Disoriented
Stumbling in the darkness
Midnight mind confused

11/2/06

Travel, such a joy!
What?!! Up at twenty 'til four?
Sam is there, I'm here

Like a Beatles song
Saying goodbye and hello
All in the same day

10/31/06

Boo! Said the small child
Cloaked in commercial excess
Sucrose levels high
