30 April 2010

Long after sunset,
Hot, wet air envelops us;
We wait for the storm.

29 April 2010

My world is silent,
The moon hidden. Neither lights
Nor voices intrude.

26 April 2010

I’m on my way home,
Driving into the sunset,
Driving almost blind.

23 April 2010

Rain while I'm driving.
My wipers streak the windshield.
Things could be better.

Streetside, flashing lights
Warn me not to go that way.
I find a detour.

Driving home tonight,
All the way, it’s one red light
After another.

I really don’t need
Another way to waste time…
But…oh, well…Facebook!

15 April 2010

These mornings I wake
With the sun filling the bedroom
With the promise of spring.

14 April 2010

From an open door
Tenor sax, trumpet, bass, drums...
Music fills the night.

13 April 2010

Warm breezes blowing
Across campus make me wish
For a short-sleeve shirt.

12 April 2010

Outside my window,
Trees covered in white blossoms.
One more sign of spring.

7 April 2010

Outside, in the dark,
Something moving through the night...
It's only the wind.

6 April 2010

Rain, late in the day.
Streets reflecting the headlights
Of oncoming cars.

5 April 2010

Baseball season starts
Today. A long winter ends.
And, yes, the sun shines.
