Number 7

with ties to seasonal change
and honoring the dead, this is halloween
happily carving pumpkins with dad

Number 6

two birds flying high above
one black, one white -- in stark contrast
clearly identified as such

Number 5

my son of 10 years
enters untrodden ground, with me in shadow
intuition training for us both

Number 4

examining a moment in time
where does that piece begin? and end?
continuous compression resulting in now

Number 3

computer, cell phone, schedules hum
filling my chi with bloated, illusory abundance
i need to go on a diet

Number 2

composing narratives with my kids
about a monster of our own making
not so scarey on paper

Number 1

i went for a run
away from the beckoning piles of do
joining the ants marching freely
