  • The Adventures of Chartan: Ready or Not!

    (Last Sunday, Gina and Chartan team up to turn down Thor’s job offer.)             “There’s a letter from Brazil on the kitchen table,” yelled Gina from the bedroom as Chartan closed the front door. Chartan grinned. There was only one table in the house.             He grabbed the heavily stamped envelope when he walked through […]

  • The Pelican

    Trying not to think, Fearing I’d unearth forgotten obligations When something caused me to look up and see A brown pelican flying over me, A day-saving moment.

  • Rambling With Good News

    Standing on a street corner without a soap box, Yelling , “Let’s redefine good news like falling in love.” Used to be a major gap between good news and love But lately the distance between them has narrowed And if it is good news to fall in love, or be in love, Or, to love […]

    I’m endangered now that humans are taking over Beaches and shorelines where I nest–the Snowy Plover.

  • Watching Fog

    I met a man who wouldn’t watch fog move up the hillside. “I don’t have time.”  “It makes no sense.”   I didn’t respond because fog was moving up the hillside. Soon he disappeared.

Chartan accepts but continues to distrust Minerva and Thor.)             Once the limo was parked in the apartment lot, Chartan remained behind the wheel, listening to the ping of a cooling engine. When the noise stopped, he began tapping the steering […]
