Housekeeping
Trees billow softly
Brushing clouds along their way
Natures endless chore

Anniversary
Aging photographs
Memories of years gone past
Timeless gifts of love

Pow Wow
Feet pounding the earth
Drums keep the rhythm alive
Praising the spirits

Glimmers
Freshly fallen snow
Glistening under street lights
Mirroring the stars

Christmas Morning
Tiny hands open
Brightly colored packages
Smiles light up faces

Frustration
Snow on TV screen
Threats made to cancel service
Cable box not on

Alarm Clock
Quietly he waits
Movement of toes under sheets
Awakened by pain

Renewal
Breeze bringing fragrance
Of lavender from the field
Carefree days ahead

New Years
Counting down from ten
Promise of new beginnings
Together with friends

Cat Box
Small shovel in hand
Digging through the sandy peaks
Such a smelly chore

Mischef
Walking up staircase
Attacked by small plastic ring
Followed by orange paw
