65. Lemon-filled

No one asks for it,
But there it is between plain
and sprinkles. Surprise!

64. Plain

It sits unadorned,
surrounded by better sweets.
Best with chocolate milk.

63. The Donut with Sprinkles

A donut for kids.
But when the others are gone,
it will do nicely.

62. The Chocolate Donut

Raised, brown cake. Icing.
Lord of sugary baked goods.
First one eaten. Mmmm.

61. The Pink Donut

A sweet surprise hides
in the bottom of the box,
strawberry frosting.

60. The Maple Bar

In the donut box

a pernicious impostor.

Vile, disgusting roll.

59. Donuts

Round deliciousness...
drizzled in chocolate, sprinkles,
or just plain. So good.

58. Wake Up Call

Cold air, canyon breeze,
Night refuses to let go.
Riding before work.

57. Swine Flu?

Whiny, mopey, blah.
Lots of laying around sick.
Won't take medicine.

56. Singing as Loud as a Three-Year-Old Can!

Blond hair, done in braids,
Dressing herself: mismatched pinks.
Making up a song.

55. Joey's Back Dive

Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine,

Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine, whine, whine,

Whine, whine, whine, whine, splash.

54. Good Thing I Brought a Book

Dad's day at swimming.

Where are the hot tennis moms?

A serious derth.

53. Back

Sabbatical done,

Ready to compose again.

For a day, at least.

52. The Vision

Joseph, Oliver...

Your sins are forgiven you.

Lift your heads, rejoice.

Inspiration.

51. The View From My Window III

Green John Deere tractor
wrapped in a cloud of white dust
cutting alfalfa.
