A late blue norther
Gathers hail at the corner
Bruising spring’s new growth

I had just left the Houston Zoo and was walking back to my car when I took this photo
A Day Like Today
A Day Like Today
Interestingly enough, the sun rose this morning
It seemed like the thing to do
Trees sprout their spring attire, a bit more each day
The wind picks up, drying the dew
These customary actions lure us into a false sense of security
A day like today promises no tomorrow

April is Poetry Month and NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) starts today!

Blank Canvas
Victor discovered that the downtown shop was always busy. By the time he finished his shift each day, he was frazzled.
A college buddy, Woody, came to town on a business trip, staying at the Marriott across the street. While Woody changed for dinner, Victor looked out the hotel window, down onto the shop.
It dawned on him that the shop’s rooftop was accessible yet isolated. Like a blank canvas, he thought, deciding a folding chair and table would be just the thing for that empty space. He knew where he would disappear to at break time from now on.
