“Look at this!”
She said grabbing a rock out of the riverbed.
My mouth drops open/
I sing its praises.
She finds another one.
And another.
One black.
One red.
One smooth […]

This is wonderful. We’re told that even the smallest trinket that a child offers should be accepted with enthusiasm…because it’s all they have…and this poem IS ALL THAT! I love it!

This…brings back so many memories of picking flowers from the yard, weeds really, for my own momma…

This is priceless- rocks are such treasure. Love it.

Nice piece. Sweetly profound in its serious simplicity. I really enjoyed it.

Love this! I have carried many rocks home with my little girl and this brought back all those special memories. Thank you! “we will marvel over these miracle of rocks” Gorgeous ending!

The missing glasses case,
The misplaced key.
The quarter just in hand,
It disappeared at one, then two, then three.
The new coffee cup sprung off the shelf and smashed,
A birthday gif […]

A white feather,
Alone
Blowing through a Target parking lot,
In the desert.
A saucy Irishman once told me,
He found them after his sister died.
They were stuck in grass, […]

Late nights, sweating on a dance floor, saxophone and electric guitar.
School children running a quarter of a mile for the momentum to fly into my arms.

This is a cool poem!

When you miss the state where you grew,
There is a candle just for you.
In the early Washington summer,
You smell spring rain,
Wet pine needles,
Fresh blackberries for your ice cream […]

A gem of a poem! “The citrus of bergamot trees and the musk of the wild northwest” Love this line!

A curtain of deadly tentacles
Roams the Indian Ocean.
Working together
Each holding on to their one job.
The greater good succeeds
The great individual.
As it grows and feeds do […]

I like the way you contrast the cooperative nature of the siphonophore to human individualism. Beautifully expressed.

Christmas sucks.
I loved Christmas as a kid.
I was conditioned to hate it.
Angry men.
Possessive men.
Tantrums with blown out candles and spit on my car.
Joy only with p […]

I told the eight year-old to save the document using the square in the corner.
She asked, “The camera?”
I said no.
It was once called a floppy disk, but don’t worry about that now.
Now, it is ju […]

Gawd, I’ve used floppy disks that WERE FLOPPY and the size of a CD case…
Good poem. “You have no idea what it is, but it’s a floppy disk.”-
Thank you, Sandy! Who knew that conversation would ever come in handy!?

I can’t stop forgiving him.

I can’t stop.
At the end of every day,
He is the one I want to talk t […]

I was 16,
We were coming home from Germany.
Six weeks of milk from the cow on the corner,
Basketball with cute boys,
And a Holocaust camp.
It was a long plane ride home.
I sat on my be […]

A new Hollywood apartment.
My parents came to visit one January.
My father discovered plants dying on my back patio.
He was disgusted with me.

“They are now!” […]
