Virtual

I look forward to
friendly connections online,
virtual contact.

Lifeline

I keep contact with
family through phone calls and texts,
a modern lifeline.

Repeat

Each day is the same,
waking to bright sunshine, yet
staying close to home.

Second Home

Dreaming
of poetry
afternoons once again,
Sitting in the huge library,
writing.

Wheel

Back in action today,
thriving in the
Outside world to face
new challenges,

Ready to learn
new lessons as I tackle
Work obligations
with my outside interests,

Turning the wheel.

Impatience

One month in a flurry
of activity,

The next month caught
in a tangle of thoughts,

The unknown always
posing as an omen,

Blending impatience
with meditation,

Reminding myself to
breathe.

Plotting

When working on ideas,
I take the longest time

Finding routines, until
I plot a plan fitting

For my journey at that
moment. It draws out new

Threads, edges  weaving in
a path most comfortable.

Windy Beach (a Haiku)

A salty breeze whips
my tresses back as I watch
the cascading waves.

Recharge

Being away for
some time recharges

My soul, guides me
to think about

My joys and
blessings,

Figuring out what
is best for this life.

Breezy

A brief escape
from the stress,

Two days of love
and sunlight,

Soaking in some
breezy autumn days

While connecting
with companions.

Split

A path splits further
away from each other

As time continues
to run its course,

Me unsure about
your well-being,

While you wait for
heartbreak to walk in,

Ignoring respite
a few feet away.

Tribeca (a Haiku)

Resting with poems
all afternoon while watching
the Hudson River.

October's Beginning

Today did not bring
cool breezes, yet

A blend of green
and gold dot the trees

Across the yard,
a subtle promise

That the seasons
are indeed changing.

New Stage (a Haiku)

An end to the month
brings the promise of movement
along my life path.

Voice

If only
I could share

My next piece
of good news

With you, all
the waiting

Finally
concluding,

So I can
start the next

Chapter of
my story.

If only
I could tell

You, calling
one more time,

So I can
hear your voice.

Writing Habits

I look out the window
and imagine

A life filled with writing,
forming ideas

For days, my well
overflowing

With characters,
plot points painted

Across the page with ease.
It currently

Ebbs and flows with my mood,
feelings taking

Control of my writing
habits, when I

Really need to take deep
breaths and believe.

'The Lost Girls of Paris': a Reaction Poem

Three women left
to fend for themselves,

Each creating her own
path toward freedom

In the backdrop
of World War II.

Three separate scenarios,
yet tied together

With a single goal:
carve a path

Through the journey, in
the face of fear.

Busy Day

Another day passes
with no word,

Yet we still have
a fruitful day,

An outing filled with
books, travel, and

Memories;
thoughts of school,

Friendships and
connections fill the

Endless hours,
stretching into

A weekend filled
with possibility.

Book Club (a haiku)

A clear Thursday night
spent with books and sharing at
the town library.

Creativity

Waking to a good book
and caffiene

Is the ideal morning
for me,

Followed by creating
with yarn and words,

My work life
mingling with

Creativity, setting the
pace in my journey.
