  • The Umbrella Lady

    A rainy, cold morning at the beach With my dog and I And a woman with a dainty umbrella, Her gaze taking up the entire beach As if it were packed with sunbathers. I hesitate to break her silence And so does the dog. He heels Which he never does when I want him to, […]

  • Poems As Old Friends

    My poems are like old friends I don’t see any more. It’s comforting to know they are there, Untouched, steady and ready To remind me where I’ve been And what I’ve done, what’s been lost And what will be forever.

  • Waiting

    Since it has rained every day this year, the dogs have had to wait longer than usual for the long-awaited morning walk. This hasn’t been normal rain. Roads have been turned into rivers. Beaches have been washed away. I feel like I have web feet at times. Still, there is usually a short break where […]

  • Loneliness…

    Note left on a bench overlooking Carmel Bay. Yesterday while walking Leo I found a “note” resting on a bench overlooking Carmel Bay. Notes are often left here, in fact there is a mailbox under the bench for visitors to leave written thoughts. Also left was a torn top of a crayon box–again, kids leave […]
