…to the remote control
oh what did we do,
once upon a time ago,
television, before you,
blared out of control,
always too loud, three channels to troll

February Poem #5
…to sleep
(no rest for the weary)
just one minute more
grumbling as you hit the snooze
places to be, things to do
get feet to the floor
if you’re not in front, on time, you lose

February Poem #4
…to coffee…or tea
morning libation
scalded brew of beans and leaves
cream and sugar, if you please
steeped stimulation,
motivation on this day to seize

February Poem #3
…to a captive bird
he is very good
at mimicking his captors
dreaming of freedom, rafters,
spreading his wings should
the cage unlatch, come the rapture

February Poem #2
…to a leaf
like a tiny tree
emulating her mother
root to trunk to branches, she
clings through the summer,
green, to blush when autumn kisses her
