pad day 16 snapshots and 17 the big picture

Here are the little linoprints I promised last week.


I have bombed out a couple of days over the weekend on the poem a day challenge, but better late than never, 3 snapshot poems for day 16

My gardening gloves
two pairs of dirty hands hang
on the washing line.


At the pet expo
the dogs were obedient
the mic misbehaved.


I
stack
dishes
the kids nag
for snacks, even though
they just ate their dinner, I yell
just as two strangers
come knocking
at my
door's
shame.


My day 17 big picture poem (which is a lot like my snapshot poems!)

Digging for victory

Digging in compost
to revive depleted soil
planting seeds of hope.

day 16 - black clouds

Black clouds

With the energy of anger
she shoves open the gate
crumples into tears
‘they won’t play with me’
We go exploring, dragging
her feet along wet paths
‘this is boring’
even the glass house
flood of flowers
can’t calm the storm.
