Poem #555a

a cup, half full
slowly fills
drop by drop
until it’s at the rim
quivering to overflow
relief as tension breaks
water trickles over the side

Poem #554

2 cups of contentment
1 lb of tiredness
5 tablespoons of comfort
a dash of excitement

mix together
deposit in soul
let sit for ten minutes
fall straight asleep

Poem #553

cat stretches out
watches the electronic toy
spin the string
cat is fascinated
but half-heartedly bats
she’s still a cat after all

Poem #552

texts in the morning
“just because” afternoon calls
evening run for pancakes
middle of the night murmurs
home is a person

Poem #550

burnt out
no toe wiggling
no pizza
no joy

Poem #549

ridiculous stories
endless laughter

Poem #548

fire! fire!
in comes the extinguisher
on goes the foam
out goes the flame

Poem #547

caught a Spearow
at Comic Con
on an iPhone

Poem #546

a family dinner
in a cute Victorian apartment
he cooks
I clean
she dries
delightfully domestic

Poem #545

spotted cat on bookshelf
stares at the blinds
falls asleep quickly
