A Death in the Family

A few feathers, still
atop my fence-post; I chase
off a sparrow hawk.

Edit

My uncle has died.
I call up memories, and
Amend the family tree.

I Can’t Relate

Mom has family stopping.
Now she’s holding court as—the
Politics guru.

Rhonda

Can’t write cheery words;
First cousin has died too soon—
Goodbye dear Rhonda.

Senior Moments

Family grape-vine
Has not enough filtration—
Stick a cork in it!
