Jumping
from one sawhorse
to another, then down,
a squirrel forages in the leaf
carpet.

MY KIND OF MUSIC
I hum
Beethoven's Ode
to Joy keyed to the drone
of the microwave's intrusive
motor.
~ ~ ~ ~
THE NIGHT BEFORE
Prepared
for snow and ice
by canceling church trip
only to wake up to sunshine,
brown leaves.
~ ~ ~ ~
HAIKU
dogwood leaf
on a snowman's
heart

NEW WINDOWS
The 'zing'
of his nail gun
interrupts the quiet;
stuns, as the hi-fi plays Christmas
carols.

BELOW FREEZING
Heat's on
but worker leaves
the door open each time
he goes out, even though I shut
it once.
~ ~ ~ ~
Attic windows still must be replaced
