Appreciation

Our last meeting

I rehearsed my part

I read my speech

you looked on with pride

I'm proud, too

I can sing and read in a different language

from ancient scroll with no vowels that sort of smells bad

I can't thank you enough

you've helped me grow

learn

experience

without you

I would be nowhere

without you

I wouldn't know how amazing your crepes are

especially with maple syrup and raspberries and blueberries

the perfect, thin, folded treat dusted with confectioner's sugar

I will come visit

I will miss you

I will remember you with respect

honor

joy

thank you.

  • Tranquility

    My funny little friend

    appearing at my door

    day in and day out

    to say hello to me.

    So intelligent

    yet so stupid

    chasing after fallen leaves and blades of grass

    lying on the doormat

  • Happy birthday

    Happy birthday

    or more like happy belated birthday -

    I'm a day late -

    but still

    you're fourteen now

    same as you were a week ago

    but older

    You'll be driving in what, two years?

    we're so old
