Nonsense Haiku
I’m giving myself
a list of menu options
for healthier meals
tired of this nonsense
eating whatever I want
whenever I want
Seeking two kayaks
to explore our campground lakes
…….I need mine to float!
Patchwork Prose and Verse
Togetherness Haiku
Weekend off the grid
Peaceful Dames Ferry Campground
Campsite twenty-one
Lake Juliette’s shores
Thirty feet from our camper
Kayaks gliding by
Banana oatmeal
Coffee swirled to perfection
Chatter of wildlife
Picnic lunch lakeside
Steak and tomato sandwich
Bottled Blue Moon beer
Reading in camp chairs
Schnauzer, Schnoodle in our laps
shade-napping in the hammock
Fresh salmon filets
square picnic table dining
spring splendor grilling
Families of ducks
New ducklings finding their way
Sticking together
Family cookout
Post-loss grief, finding new ways
of togetherness
