POST CHRISTMAS, 2023 - POEMS


 ecstatic grandchild

visiting from Florida

--an Arkansas snow

~ ~ ~ ~

sunny winter day

dust on the dark wood

of the rocking chair

~ ~ ~ ~

she "cut back" this year

baking only twenty

fruitcaakes

~ ~ ~ ~

power outage
wrapped in your
Christmas-gift shawl
~ ~ ~ ~
the bare gingko tree
its golden leaves allowed
to be undisturbed
~ ~ ~ ~
post-Christmas snowstorm
the sound of generators
all around
~ ~ ~ ~
lumberjack bolting
from Christmas celebration
a second ice storm
~ ~ ~ ~
