14. Penance

Lycra shorts, t-shirt,
push hard for ninety minutes,
dripping sweat—feels good.

13. Temptation

An Apple iPhone
should be incentive enough.
But brownies win out.

12. Lost

Jack and Kate, Others...
hoping for rescue, answers,
but not getting them.

11. The Goal

Three months. Must improve.
Fix throughput, efficiency
Save the factory.

Inspiration here.

10. Cereal

Oh those golden grahams.
Golden honey, just a touch,
with graham's golden wheat.

9. Brownies

Hot, gooey, chocolate,
Steaming, straight from the oven.
Dad licks the bowl. Mmmm.

8. Or a Sestina or Villanelle?

One haiku each day?
So what? A daily sonnet
would impress me more.

7. Ains

Cute, curly pigtails,
loves to draw, paper, walls, arms.
A smile to die for.

6. Lucy

Blue eyed thumbsucker,
cereal eater—that's all!
Most beautiful girl.

5. Boo

Fun, toothpick skinny,
red hair and temper to match.
Sees with artist's eyes.

4. Monk

Whip-smart pianist.
Spends all his time in book land.
Handsome like his dad.

3. Thunder Storm

Mist clings to granite
tipped in powder, brushed in green.
A breeze blows. Rain falls.

2. IronMan

Gold suit, red highlights.
"Yeah, I can fly." Save Pepper.
Defeat the villain.

1. Napoleon Complex

Just buy some hair gel,

and with a comb, slick it down.

Hair won't make you tall.
