…Ode to Diet Dr. Pepper
Water you are not
But you are so delightful
When it’s so freakin hot

Have a refreshing weekend!
A boy and a girl
They both have his deep brown eyes
They’re kind like him too
The smell of sunscreen
Permeates the empty rooms
Sounds of distant laughter
Those halcyon days
Fun, sun and listless boredom
The last bell sounds…
One kindergarten graduation
Field Day times two
Jump rope team tryouts
Three hundred fifty annual reviews
A costume for a fractured fairy tale
Rafunzel … there’s something new
I got a lot of things done this week
but sorry, no haiku
Swarming in my home
Cracks, crevices and plumbing
Freaking termites

Melodic whistling
Voice deep and mellifluous
Now only in dreams
Happy Birthday Pops…
