Reading late into
The night, waking too early...
And now, dozing off...

Walking to my car,
A dove somewhere nearby  calls,
Waits, and calls again.

A single flower,
Caught in the sun, long ago,
And I know not where.

Remembering Rome...
A flower cart in a street
Near the Spanish Steps.

A dove on the roof
Rouses me from sleep, softly
Cooing this morning.

Sunshine, gentle breeze--
A lovely spring day--except
It's February,

Outside our window,
Cardinal hops branch to branch,
And then flies away.

On Valentine's Day,
At home with my wife and dog,
Nothing can go wrong.

I am growing old;
I look to the past more, now,
Than to the future.

A squadron of geese
Overhead, flying about
And squawking loudly.

It seems a dream now...
Long ago and far away...
I still remember.

5 February 2017

Watching the sun set...
A blaze of red in the west,
Then, sudden darkness.

Sixty-nine years gone...
Beyond all expectations,
I keep on ticking.

3 February 2017

Sitting at my desk,
The world at my fingertips...
And I turn away...
