January 15: Office visit

what is poetry

examining my warts

my doctor makes me laugh

January 14: Concert

intermission

man next to me humming

what a wonderful world

January 13: Football playoffs

half-time

noticing the deep blue

of the sky

January 12: Big Dipper

over my head

upended Big Dipper

pouring out darkness

January 11: Winter ducks

winter ducks

flying fast downriver

life is too short

January 10: Crescent Moon

long afternoon

printing out tax forms

crescent moon

January 9: Rain

rain turns to snow

one more time

the cat washes her face

January 8: Epiphany (delayed)

epiphany

a host of white wings

above the dumpster

January 7: Gym

self-motivation

chasing my shadow

around the track

January 6: New moon

geese riding high

in the flooded marsh

new moon

January 5: Football

post-season football

suddenly missing 

green grass
