Last Spring Concert tomorrow night...

Something about the Doctor's office
In spite of
Or because of all that happens there
Causes a strange sense of calm
Security mixed with
The sweat of dread
And the anxiety
Of uncertainty.
It's a relief
To go less often.

Art Crawl

Fresh air
Fresh allergies
New season
New clothes
Warm weather
Warm forehead
Spring has sprung

Art in Bloom

Here comes the Sun
Rest in Peace, Richie Havens

Damn Pretty

I'm sick of looking out my window
At the beautiful snow drenched branches
With their wonderment of beauty.
I'm tired of gazing at the amazing
Crystal maze of ice
As I slide on a patch.
I'm done with sighing in disbelief
At the profound beauty
And total lack of respect
From this endless, boundless season.

Welcome back Widji Buddies

Inside
Looking outside
It's easy to pretend
It's only a movie...

One minute you're on your feet
Walking on a deck suppose to be
Dry in April
The next you're on your back
Sliding through
An April snow shower's
Left over puddle of ice.

Bowling for Fun

All of our great Community Reporter writers...
Thanks Maxine!

9 or 90
It's never easy
To lose someone.

Words fail
When hearts hurt
When our minds
Can't comprehend
What hate can do
And only love
Can heal.

Eagle wings
Flap in the wind
Hovering over
Possibilities

Baseball season postponed

Due to weather...
We've had rain delays
But snow delays?

When the world is white
And the sky is grey
We need the colors
In our hearts
To break through.

TGIF

Longest day
Of the longest week
In the longest winter

Chicks with chicks!

Book Club

Minnesota history
Part of our bones.
The marrow feeding
Our strength
Of character
And number.
The legend
Of who we are
And where we've been.

Conferences

Conferring about why
Sunshine affects spelling
Cold weather blocks math
Bare trees = bare brains
Spring can't come soon enough.

Just checking my emails
Becomes one little peek at Facebook
And a quick post
Then an instant message
And I'd better do my blog
Which reminds me
I have to google something
Then a visit to Youtube...
Half an hour latter
I forgot what I came for.

Frozen April showers
Melting Spring fever,
Covering the starving green
And thwarting all hope.

TGIF

Understanding
Doesn't necessarily mean
You get it
Only that you put up with it.

The beat of fingers
On desk top
The swing of feet
Out of view
The nodding of head
To an inner rhythm
Energy pulsing through
Hump Day

Back to school
Back from break
A little bit of sunshine
To recharge my batteries
And keep me going till June...

A safari in my head
Hunting the elusive job
Weapons of wit and skills
To battle
The insecurities and uncertainties
On its trail.
