Premature Grief
Sands of time slipping,
and you find yourself missing
that which is not gone.
Leaf
Freshly fallen,
not yet trampled.
Shine while you can.
Rainy Day Drivers
Walking home
On a miserably rainy day.
My gratitude goes out
To considerate drivers.
"Trip on your lead foot"
flashes in my head
for the one who splashed water
into my boot.
Many profane quips
almost escaped my lips
to drip
down my face
with the repulsive road river,
because one driver
could not find the sense
to s l o w d o w n.
