Hunters

 

In the night

when all is pitch black

they will come

baring teeth

stealing the dreams from children

and wreaking havoc

File under WPB

 

Waste paper basket

in the corner of the room

keeper of secrets.

Pavement flowers

 

I didn’t know you

though I feel the pain of death;

murder on the streets.

2018

 

It is the first day

of a brand spanking new year;

make the most of it.

Happy New Year to you all.

Colleague

 

Sanctimonious

sour-faced and miserable;

sucks the joy from life.

Reminders

 

small pockets of snow

remain in shady hollows;

there on borrowed time.

Snow

 

Table top

covered with new snow

and a leaf

since fallen

reminder of passing time

and lifetime consumed.

Ruben

 

Life’s about to change

so batton down the hatches;

puppy comes today.

Happy Christmas

.

A happy Christmas

to all who celebrate it

and to those who don’t.

A farewell

 

Thumping heart

be silent a while

let me breath

I must see

her countenance one last time

before all is lost
