Morning in Bed

Persistent rain drops
Onto newly shingled roof
Distant wind chimes ping.

Lazy

Remaining in bed
I hear the rain falling down–
Bird voices all hush.

Victoria Day

Because we honour
Her Majesty today, I’ll
have breakfast in bed!

Abed

We get entangled
in undercover tangos—
lovers over friends.

P.S. This showed up in a file on one of my e-mail accounts. I must have stored it there to post later. Or maybe I posted it before? I don’t recall for sure. It’s a new title, in any case.

Winter Is Coming

I’d forgotten how
cold air outside the covers
chills me to the bone.
