The first of 3 poems published today in the wonderful Voice-Virtual. My thanks to editor Jim Lewis.
Long walks and sunshine. Not the mileage
I used to clock nor the speed, but birdsong
and daffodils I’d have missed before.
An outing with granddaughters, peeking
into their lives and loves, their favorite band
(loud) and the in spot for burgers and fries.
The quiet, driving home.
Dinner with friends, repeating tales decades old,
tsking at AI, cryptocurrency, Tik Tok, X.
Evenings of old sweatshirts and slippers
takeout and TV, my dog chasing rabbits
in his sleep.
