Three Short Poems


 Plants in the Window

Plants in the window
Waiting for spring.
Will it ever come?

We, as adults,
Know that it will,
We tell ourselves.

But our flowers
Like children repeat,
"Are we there yet?"



The Trouble with Lampshades

Something there is
That doesn't love a lampshade,
That makes them so expensive,

So difficult to match to a lamp,
That makes them mold and decay
In a previous style

No longer findable in any store.
There used to be Henry's Lampshades,
But it's long gone now.

And even if it were still there,
Would they even have that
Exact quirky lampshade--

Small and red with dangling 
Plastic gems, or large and 
Square and tan?



Special Breakfast

God is crazy good.
He has time to have 
Breakfast with me.

I could have
Breakfast with God
Every morning
If I wanted to.
