Grocery Trip (Blogophilia 32.17)

Image
  "Honey? I'm going to Kroger. Do you need anything?" "Pick up some cream and butter. I'm making chicken pie and I'm out." "How about a pie crust?" "Got that from the quiche we made last week. Let me check something. Chicken Broth, check. Canned fried onions, check. Salt...Pepper.." "What if they have 'Fish Heads' on sale?" "I hate that song." "I know. Be back in a sec."

What Did the Doc Say (Blogphilia 31.17)

  You have one less bell to answer One less race to run It's nothing what you thought it was A race you never won. It's now the freeway exit The one you knew would come The car has overheated Stuck before the one.

Snow Day (Blogophila 28.17)

Image
  I wish for the hush of the snow A silence enduring  Freshly plowed streets Crystal Icicles I look out on the white abundance And sip my coffee Until the last moment When I hear the children sledding down the hill. The world, for a moment Is at peace.

Southern Cross (Blogophilia 26.17)

Image
It hangs on the wall A Christmas bribe More permanent than a cookie Woman from long ago Looking for comfort The cat was more faithful She vanished Following a soldier into battle. Never settling down  Never finding peace.
