Girl silhouette with dandelion seeds blowing

Pumby was with us
for a few years back then.
Our three-year-old daughter’s
imaginary best friend

graced our table, seated in the
“empty” chair at our tea parties.
At night, she lay under the bed,
keeping the monsters away.

They got along so well. Pumby
was a perfect friend and scapegoat,
accepting her role as the guilty one
when something went wrong.

We were told she moved to
New York City when
the girls were teens, but
she’s baaaack!

Who else could have
let the mouse in,
or shoved the dirty socks
under the bed.

And who else would’ve
lit fireworks past midnight,
then wake me by turning
up the music at dawn?

Welcome home, Pumby,
and Happy New Year!

Pastoral setting in book

I’m standing in the middle of my story,
writer, actor, and director.

I choose the words carefully;
They are not scripted for me, but by me.

I choose how to play out the scenes,
Knowing I’m my own stuntman and could get hurt.

And I choose how to direct my energy,
How to live day by day, each day a gift I give myself.

Cheating My Muse

Photobook software,
creatively slim, condenses
one’s life to a book, 8 by 10.

A few select photos,
a couple of words, and
Viola’! my whole life is preserved.

I should be happy that
these memories are saved,
professionally printed
and beautifully bound.

Yet, I feel like I cheated,
that I’ve muzzled my muse;
I must not let her
return to her box.

I think these words shall fracture
if they hit our frozen air,
but my restless muse has risen,
so I’ll sit and let her play.

I’ll sit close by the fire as
she guides my written words,
then I’ll plead for
silent readings lest the
words should freeze midair.
