the past is not now
nor is now in the future
now is only now

yet remembered each year still
the day we made vows

Family Dynamics

First Things First

learn from the squirrel
do whatever needs doing
more time to be cute

The Disrupter

three squirrels there were
scurried they when showed up me
only two returned

Come Get It!

her own tummy full
Bonnie leaves to call Sidney
'still corn on the cob'

Sneaky

finally caught him!
Quince pilfering half a cob
his own private stash!

Kids Will Be Kids

indeed he returns
Sidney comes back for a snack
but mostly to play

from behind window panes viewed
by glass wall muted

all time seems to stop
when no longer is it kept
the moment lingers

when there's no hurry
hours seem to multiply
beyond twenty-four

innings without time
nights filled with sounds of the game

when more is no longer sought
no more is enough
