This is my second entry, I found a better photo. I am now happy I didn’t delete it. I was taking this for the open car window, that’s what the lower part of the photo is.

HEADS OR TOES
all for one is all they’ve known
as members of their clan
laughing and playing jumping and jiving
as only siblings can
race to the door will be no more since
because mom has taken a stand
so heads or tails will be the game
to now entertain this band
toss of a coin and voices chime
heads or tails – I win
for the tiniest member at his turn it’s
heads or toes – I win
stair steps siblings take him in hand it’s
heads or tails – I win
not to bother with thoughts from the others
the coin is tossed again
and tiny voice quick to show his grasps yells
heads of toes – I win
he cannot see what the fuss is about
for tails is toes and toes is tails
and there is where he stands
the scramble is on for the next coin toss
and it’s time to get a turn
grabbing the coin he plants and
tossed and through the air it flew
his aim is off it lands far off
so mom renews her stand
no heads no tails no heads no toes
‘cause now this game is through

Feeding time at the pier. Seagulls and more seagulls. They went airborne with my tossing food in the air, and dodging.

Coming Night
day is winding down
neighbors are headed home
amidst snowy, icy sidewalks
through tangled power lines there is no evading the beauty of the skies

Rebel Salute
rebel
outlaw, nonconformist
instigating, trendsetting, trailblazing
challenging the norm, homage with a hint of envy
honoring, imitating, emulating
respect, celebrate
salute

SHADE TREE
basking in warm summer days
hosting backyard gatherings
witnessing family love always
saluting the love with leaves fluttering
spicey barbecue aromas not under cover
wafting through the air filling the senses
ongoing anticipation and laughter hover
stories and games in progress on benches
long yarns from mom came all day
all gather round to absorb these plays
shade tree now hosting shivering beauty
longs for the chance to bask in summer duty
