short forms 25th December 2016

Christmas
in the Good house
a time of family
and recriminations for past
misdeeds

high winds
the garden full of dead leaves
again

Christmas
a delay in poetry
during gift time
The dogs fret about walking
where's our mom?

© Rachel Green 2016

crowded house
I make friends with a child
and soften a little

a new kimono
to replace the torn and battered
Chesterfield jiu-jitsu

new year, new writing regime?

Missing the friends I've never met.
