cleaning the closet
in an Easy Spirit shoebox
our mother's keepsakes
~
donating
to a station never watched
she gets a free mug

State Poet Laureate
Late, she
swept in and waved
like Queen Elizabeth,
missing my speech on 'poetic
techniques.'
~
leaving the deck chair
to raise the umbrella
red wasp takes my seat
~
first day of autumn
blowing snow and icy roads
close the interstate
~
one persimmon falls
then two more ... clumsy squirrel
or over-ripe fruit?
~
crisp autumn morning~
white umbrella mushroom
in the dried, cut grass
~
"You're out!"
the newly-fired umpire's
last call
~
cool temp and a breeze
foretell the changing season
bee at the seed stalk
