Most of these I wrote during my years as a stay at home parent.

spring - heat off, no air
sunny running, sweat again
sleep with blowing cool

Laughing falling smile
wordless jokes cracking us up
jump hide - where? ha ha!

grow grow grow unseen
mom is eating sleeping lots
when is who coming?

tiny wriggling blob
wavy screen fluttering heart
ultrasound thrills me

one two three four five
lots of beds for family
still, so, so, sleepy

sleeping, heavy babe
cooing warms heart, calms baby
what will his words be?

Fallen, crying hurt
Parent's old arms holding still
Happy running feet

giant belly
sweating pushing exertion
tiny peaceful life

smile, little frog
see my face - grab my finger
now drink sleepily

yelling no! Mine! Mine!
Swinging arms scare other kids
yelling hitting 2

lean air, bright leaves fall.
Walking lightly, smiles for all.
Life honors boldness.

Longing for great truth,
Feeling a sublime formless ...
Bad words stick in mind.

coats boots mittens too
putting them on again. whew.
Oh no! Time to pee.


And for today:

Ideas clashing hard!
Typing with great heat to fix.
Zen_Forum flows on.

Ahh, the indulgence.  Thanks,

--Chris
