Egg Salad

A crunch to spoil the
Creamy texture I spread thick.
Celery, too much.

Red Lollypop

marygracewriting2 Comments

I think I want a
red one. Wrapped in plastic.
Sticky sugar treat.

Plastic never comes
clean off. Always a remnant
to pick, flick away.

Remember not to
run, paper stick hanging from
a happy red grin.

Cold Toes

Toes, dressed against
cold. Still chilled and damp, remind
movement is a must.

Calm Snow

A blanket of cold.
Gentle, as it floats from grey
Enclosed sky. Now sleep.

God given layers
cover natures dieing throws.
Dignity at end.

Disintegrating,
a slow giving up of self
back into the web.

Second Dance

Morning rush, drive fast.
A cyclone follows closely.
Golden leaves dance twice.

Trembles only felt,
never seen by the world at large
have given roots strength.

Nighttime Sounds

marygracewritingLeave a comment

.
Creak of staircase sounds.
Eyes through spindles peering.
“I’m thirsty Mommy.”

.
The clock ticks constant.
Refrigerator purring.
Air through nose louder.

.
Rolling over, pops.
Rejected sheets whisper,
one more bathroom trip.

Beauty Adrip

Beauty adrip like,
slowly spun sugar crystals.
Honeysuckle kiss.

Inspired by the honeysuckle vine my husband bought me this spring for the backyard.

When the Kids Are Home

marygracewriting2 Comments
  1. Plush rug of red hues
    Toes settle in to fibers
    Food crumbs giggle felt
  2. Satisfying thunk
    As toys tossed in to trunk
    Sound of spill down hall
  3. Peanut butter smile
    Handprints left on window, wall
    Kiss smells of childhood
