You want me to be
someone, something I am not.
I can’t unravel
a thread from cloth when it is
inherent to the fabric.

Poetry
Opening Day
Boys of Summer
We welcome you back!
Pick your pitch,
Give it a whack.
Complete the cycle
With a grand slam homerun,
Beat on the Royals
100 to 1.
Pitch lights out then
Turn a double play.
Let’s go Tigers!
It is Opening Day!
Restless Demons
Restless demons
Rattle their cage
Gnash savage teeth
Demand release,
Weary sentry
Resolve worn thin
Grants their pardon
And damns us all.

Expect the Sun to Set
The thing about life’s
Inevitabilities?
They always happen.
Zoo
We have reached the end of SFoxWriting‘s Alphabet Challenge, the letter “Z”. What a fun ride. My topic choice for the letter “Z”, from day one, was always going to be the zoo. I adore animals. The zoo in my hometown is pretty small. That doesn’t stop me from visiting multiple times per year. My husband and kids are big zoo fans too. We traveled from Michigan to San Diego over spring break a few years ago specifically to go to the San Diego Zoo. That was an incredible trip, except for the earthquake. Within 2 hours of arriving at our resort on a sunny Easter Sunday, we got rocked by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. Fortunately the rest of the trip went off without a hitch.
A zebra haiku:
Stripes like fingerprints
Exclusive identity
No two are alike
Here are some of my favorite shots from the San Diego Zoo:
