Visitors

ducks greet us humans
in the rain-swept parking lot
we're in their world now

Careless Whisper

watch the george michael original

Seether covers Wham
Much improved if you ask me
but I've got no taste

Frost

spring's cold pre-dawn breath
paints icy abstract patterns
on the rain-damp glass

Bath

recovered from the great new year's blog debacle

small birds sing and splash
calling others to join them
in the new puddles

Do Re Mi in Antwerp

silly fun to brighten your day

Publicity stunt
Looking for Sound of Music’s
Maria in Belgium

Missing

an april scavenger hunt/rant in three acts


I. Wabbit Season

Where are the bunnies?!?
Should be hippity-hopping
in the grass by now


II. Buzz Kill

Can't find yellow Peeps!!
C'mon people - yellow chicks
How basic is that???


III. Ides of April

Where's my 1040??
Seen my W2 'round?
Tax day's almost here

Melting Pot

For a morning treat
she brings bagels and cream cheese
for all to enjoy

There was a time when
the bagel bakeries closed
during Passover

Bagels are common,
detatched from their ethnic roots
They've morphed and mainstreamed

Still, it don't seem right
to this non-observant Jew
None for me, thank you

Mumbler

huh?

Hagganie, she said,
handing me my change. 'Scuse me???
Ohhh! Have. A. Good. Night.
