1961. Married Bliss
Singing
A merry tune
The best way
To start
A Friday
Evening
At home
With my husband
Each of us
With a melody
In our heart
Happily Married in San Francisco
1960. Deep Freeze
My computer
Seized
Like a dead thing
Not moving
Or breathing
No systems
Working
Working in Startups, San Francisco

1958. On Early Retirement
People dreaming
Of early retirement
Don't know why
They shouldn't
Want it
That's a whole
Lot of nothing
You've got
To fill
With something
This poem is a paraphrase of wisdom shared by my husband recently and my Mom regularly, both of whom think working keeps you young.
Finding Direction
Of early retirement
Don't know why
They shouldn't
Want it
That's a whole
Lot of nothing
You've got
To fill
With something

1957. Revived
I can feel
A new life
Breathing
Inside me
Not yet
A child's
But mine
My husband
Has revived me
My mind
Was dormant
For a while
Happily Married in San Francisco
The meaning of this poem is that my husband's love re-started me as a poet - a happily married poet. To all those, who may be nosy, I'm not pregnant. What I've written above is a metaphor.

1956. Holding Me Tight
I can tell by
How tightly
He holds me
That he needs
Me
As much
As I need him

He holds me
That he needs
Me
As much
As I need him
Happily Married in San Francisco
