USA pastime
Crack of the bat, random dance
Is that player twelve?

Misunderstanding
Shirt and tie compulsory
Polo shirt instead

Thick all around me
Blanketing the atmosphere
In sticky moisture

Six degrees, they say
Sometimes degrees are fractions
Or sudden nineties

Sides and a singer
Dad on lunch duty; cookies
Company is best

Evanston puzzles
Home of coveted paper
Mysterious sign

A day as Big S
All quiet on western front
Bell ringing resounds

Pasta sparks chatter
Friends, old and new, wait to speak
Awkward goodbyes said

The house of water
Funky, cool, available
Peoria wins

Conversation had
While colleagues are on the links
Trip, affirmative

Deep and heavy weight
Shrouding cubicles; silent
Lethargy abounds

Flea market journey
Followed by a tasty brunch
Time with Dad; priceless

No lazy bed time
Up early for yoga class
Fingers crossed for air

Pilgrimage, of sorts
Laughter and tears - trusted friends
Tiptoeing advised

Almost ten years past
Memories from our childhoods
Recalled as adults

Summer night outside
A late dinner plus ice cream
Trains are audible

Work social event
Plans made, clubs gathered, gifts wrapped
Mingle, then dinner

Happy announcement
Shiny new bauble on hand
Congrats, Amanda!

Hands planting in dirt
Later, hands in three course meal
Shower in between

Darkened sky above
Stars twinkle and planes fly low
Solitude is mine

Permission to play
Adjourning early for lunch
Afternoon my own

A flood of comments
Some positive, others not
My opinion stands

Tribond; three things game
Out late on a weeknight is
A true sign of fun

Surprise for teacher
Sugary treats for the kids
Fond farewell to friend

Blue and sugary
Cursive writing most useful
Helping verbs displayed

Sudden dinner plans
A fiesta, in a way
Cheese requirement

William Clinton speaks,
And I listen, attentive
Great for Knox, my home

Teriyaki sauce
At its best, a taste delight
Sometimes a salt lick
