A freighter came into the harbor last night.
It’s anchored there, quiet and still.
The only motion is the changing tide.
The tide moves the ship as it will.
Seattle Vaccination Rate
Seattle’s been a shambles.
but they’ve just done something right.
Their vaccine rate’s impressive –
they might win their COVID fight.
The Candle
The Candle burns its steady flame.
Its light is clear and true.
It stands a shining signal
as it lights a path for you.
Every Day
Every day dawns bright and new.
Each one’s a fresh new start.
Each day’s an opportunity
to touch a human heart.

Two bunnies scamper in my grass.
They’re sorta cute….in a way.
But now they ate my poppy
and I Wish They’d Go Away.
Post-COVID Shortages
My frappuccino mocha’s
disappearing from the store.
I’m not a Happy Camper…
I can’t buy it any more!
Post-COVID Spending
People are buying.
The sales out of sight.
They’re buying things “pretty”.
They’re buying things “bright”.
To My Friends in Genealogy Book Club
Our Book Club season’s over.
We don’t plan to meet in June.
We take a break for summer.
So, we won’t be meeting soon.
By fall, we hope it’s diff’rent.
We hope we’ll meet again.
And, we can talk together ‘bout
the words from an author’s pen.
Purple
I’ve begun to discover purple.
It’s a shade I wouldn’t wear.
But, the purple blossoms in my yard
bring beauty beyond compare.
