The Bag Lady

***

Julie was drawn into the doorway by a bright beam of sunshine that never seemed to show on her side of the garden. What iniquity she thought to herself, is that why this door had always been closed? She decided to go through and explore this new area, to behave bravely, not as she was brought up. She was definitely going to speak to her mother, thinking she needed some type of rebate for all the fun times she could have discovered in this sunny part of the property.

Sew on a button?

You’ve got to be kidding!

My eyesight is only fair to middling

Even if I could see the button’s holes

To thread a needle is an impossible goal

My eyes are the first thing to go

Even my mind is now a bit slow

I try to stay “in the know”

But this body aging is a sorry blow.

Herb liked to present himself in a good light, always dressing neatly, wearing the latest fashion, wanting to appear confident in his demeanor. This was his goal in life, to be “normal”, to appear in control, be accepted as an example of what a man should be. It was only that last glance in the mirror that he saw his true self.

Child’s Dreamland

This is similar to my backyard, my childhood home in Vermont. Now it is a family member’s but she shares with me in my nostalgia.

freedom for roaming

brooks, wood forests, hills to climb

beauty we enjoyed

• A total of 44-46 syllables for the entire poem.
• The first line of the Sijo usually sets the theme.
• The second line elaborates on the first line.
• The third line brings the poem matter to a close.

an embarrassed flush at his glance, a secret crush on a senior

freshman novice in orchestra, senior encouraging friend

time seems endless at first with her friend, then graduation looms
