inside local post office. /
Did you get your gifts?

Perspective
Spring lights near and far /
lead the eye into evening. /
Sunlight fades to stars.

Evening, show your hues: /

Sweet heat of Jesus /
Tastes full-bodied on your tongue /
Psalm to calm it down.

Saturday silliness: “Cookie fails”
Cookie Fails
I have committed all those sins, /
Once and again /
When baking the day away. /
In the kitchen I run /
Mixer, thumb, and hum /
As I try to get the dough my way. /
But, alas, by turns /
Overmixed to burned, /
My baking fails like clay /
Lost on a potter’s wheel /
Self-creation piecemeal /
That has gone astray. /
But fool that I be /
Mount Success for me /
So into the recipe I climb. /
Mix and shape /
Measure and bake /
Then wait again for the timer’s chime.
Then out come my cookies. /
Oh, take a look! See /
How they look divine. /
I sit on my stool, /
Fidgeting until cool, /
Then I dine on this feast of mine.

Photo finish Friday: “Skeleton of memories”
Skeleton of memories
Winter killed our tree. /
Don’t know if it was before, /
during, or after /
your death. Dead limbs hang barren: /
no buds, no leaves, no cherries. /
Skeleton of memories.

“Burnt fingers”
Burnt fingers
Burned by deep cold, leaves /
open to spring’s renewed touch. /
Winter’s fingers crossed.

“Dabbled thoughts”
Dabbled thoughts
Each snowflake a thought /
piled on the dappled stone bench. /
Soon gone in sunlight.

“Sunset”
Sunset
Spring holds hope within, /
waits on the windy sunset /
to sweep out winter.
