STRANDED
Stranded in my easy chair,
watching the weather
through a window,
watching the world
through a computer,
remembering the days
of striding the streets
on my powerful legs

STRUGGLING to SLEEP, a poem
Strutting round
my bed,
sleep hovers
tauntingly
just beyond
the reach
of my wired
body
struggling
to find
a foxhole in
my mattress
to hide
from wakefulness

AT 90
No five-year
plan for me
Aging limits
my outlook
so, each
day I wake up
looking
forward to
breakfast
and dinner,
speaking to
my children,
watching
films and news on cable,
reading novels
and poetry,
Newsday,
NYT, Washington Post;
inspiration
to write poems,
pretzels,
caramels and cookies,
going
to sleep at night

MOTHER. a poem
Mother,
Momma, Mom
Different
names
for the
source
from whence
we sprang
What did
Mother,
Momma, Mom
do for us
Everything
Along with
total love,
she taught
us
to whistle
tie our
shoes
and made
all
of our
meals
