what i

what i dreamed i remember.
can't put into words.
it's on the tip of my head, tongue.
ready to make me smile.

the change

here is
the change i've been waiting.
warm today they say,
oh, we're ready.
then on the menu for this afternoon,
a shake 'em up thunderstorm.
we'll work through it,
bear with it.
take what we get.

stopped in Milan, she got coffee,
i had a cheese filled donut,
hey, i chewed it slowly.
she shared her coffee.
still waiting for rain,
and it's warm out, nearly hot.

dogs walking, geese honking,
the park at the reservoir.
breeze blowing; call it wind kicking up.
making circles of last fall's leaves.

man it stirs the trees,
runs ripples on the water.
i hear a train away.
going to rain at three, they say...

a big one, already half past the hour.
checked the radar, storm's running west.
maybe later we'll catch it.
now we're out of it. warm, that's it.

even steven


can you call it,
the game, the card, the number, the winner:
heads or tails?
are you guessing or do you know?
want to tell me how?
can i do it?

predicting with an edge
does you every well?
what can be the difficulty?
is the answer floating in space somewhere?
do you recommend it for under eighteen?
is it better i forget about it?

due

thick clouds, bright,
light gray morning,
easy we go ahead
winding out of April.
May planting time will be welcome.
there's going to be more flowers this year;
i need the color to remind me of the good times.
seems a fine idea, right?
i'm garden ready.
will be out to catch sun rays first chance i get,
can feel the warmth just thinking about it.
summer ahead is due.
treat me well.

remember again

winter long,
no wonder cowboys shot their guns
in the sky, unnecessarily.

flurries falling slow enough to see between,
how's that for a picture in your head?
that was february,
april is winding up.

i am running out of waiting for
weather i can handle.

how about taking my shoes off outside.
no, that's not a question, it's a suggestion.

a remember summer days:
berry pie, garden time.
it'll happen.
