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.

Answers

It has been weeks
since I've last visited

My family
in Paterson, and

I'm curious as to
how my grandparents

Are doing, wondering
if my niece

Is having good
school experiences.

In a few days
I will find out

All the answers.

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.
