2020. Everything is In

This season
Everything is in
Fat or thin
Short or tall
Shaggy, bald
Tight, baggy
Long or mini
Skirts and slacks
Hair blond,
Red, brown
Or black
What does it mean
When all are seen
With equal beauty
Unheard of
Outrageous
Hopefully,
It will be contagious

2016. Clean

Lemon scent
Sharply assaulting
Your nostrils
A tingling in your eyes
A little discomfort
As your skin
Is wetted by it
Whitening agent
Disinfectant, antiseptic
Makes a house feel
Ready for guests


Observations

2015. Browlines

Eyebrows:
The latest trend in fashion,
If you believe this month's magazines,
Is to leave them more haphazard.
Yet ladies of all ages re-enact
Basic principles of beauty,
Relearned each century
By new generations.
Gentlewomen from every clime
Use gentle threads at home.
Some even fly worldwide
To best accomplish
This fine grooming.
To have the right brow line
Is sublime.


About Women

2014. A Twirl Purring

A twirl purring
Charming, furry
Warmly disarming
Softly breathing
Comfort giving
A gentle, innocent
Presence
Prompting
Us to move
Quietly
More deftly
To avoid hurting
Or disturbing
An afternoon napping
Friend


Observations

2013. Finding Direction

Sometimes
Reading
Reintroduces
Me
To a younger
Being
A person
With different
Perspectives
Almost like
A new friend

Finding Direction


2012. On Writing

Reviewing lines
Of mine
Reminds me
Who I used
To be
And lets me
Find myself
Anew

2011. Anniversary Rhyme

Happy anniversary
Honey
Our names
For each other
Would rhyme
With one another
If I dared
To reveal
Our true selves
Online


Happily Married in San Francisco
