SOUTH TEXAS

Exotic
is overrated.
Give me the
country roads
and peaceful ranchland that I
call home, any day.

THE LAST DAY

“Work From Home”
has advantages.
Garden walks,
for instance.
But it also means I missed
my colleague’s last day.

THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF

Random thoughts,
unsolved challenges ~
all melding
into mad
-ness of midnight cinema ~
a double feature!

FORMING MY THOUGHTS

Quarantined.
Social distancing
for a month.
And it is
April: Poetry Month! So ~
thirty shadormas!

Or not.

MY FAVORITE FORM, THE SHADORMA

I can say
as much as I want
in six lines.
Twenty-six
syllables is all I need
to convey my thoughts.
