Day 20: Family

Family
I find
wherever I go.
When I'm far away
It's never
from home.

Day 19: Color

Often have I wondered,
what is it in a color
that captures me, draws me?

Is there a genetic disposition
to explain my transfixion
of that blue, dark blue?

Or has my mind decided
based on environment
my hue, navy blue?

I know no explanation.
Perhaps  it's my imagination
my color is blue, always blue.

Day 18: Weather

A Sunny Day

A sunny day
one finally warm
Eventually
we tumble out of doors
to walk
to read
Eventually
we stop to enjoy
the sun
the breeze

Before the sun
 is too hot
before the rain
comes again
before the colors
recede
and we barricade
ourselves in.

Day 17: Pop Culture

Trivial Pursuit

You didn't know the answer
to the world's easiest question
because you don't partake
in its pop culture obsession.

Day 16: Elegy

Elegy of Youth

There is my youth
slipping quickly
goodbye, I say
standing soundlessly.
You were never
but a passing
while this future
I was asking
There was my youth,
goodbye.
