Sick Day

Thanks be to rash-faced kids who say COME OUTSIDE so that you get to be the one who makes first tracks on the sledding hill with boot-print flowers~ and later plop down under a solar-drenched sky for a sweet, snow-angel Savasana while pick-ups bounce by on mud-puddled roads.

Life, Looking In

There is such beauty when I look out my window

to the snowy evergreen landscape,

but when I head outside

and take a look “in”,

I see the poetry of

a pair of mittens hanging by the fire,

a tea cup by the stove

and my boys at the table.


Writing is my act

of looking

in.
