warm garden dirt
bare feet
picking green beans

sun glistening
across the wildflowers
a rainbow

long blonde ponytail
constantly touching my desk
scissors from home

summer breeze
her brown eyes
my first kiss

dinner theater
my hand wanders over
to meet his

sunset on beach
watching the sunrise
celebrating our years together

It took a long time
to climb this ladder
I don’t like the view

the top of Sears Tower
amidst the night lights of the city
the proposal

 

top half champion =  

champion =

 

bottom half champion =

at the front door
my shadow leaves me
long summer day

held breath
bites her hand
it's a boy, another boy

tiny hand
clutched in mine
my baby girl

too tired to push
I decided to quit.
she came out anyway

 

 

 
  top quarter champion =  

bottom half champion =

 

bottom quarter champion =

 

 

 

stuffy shirt
encouraging smile
where will this take me

shoes and purse
for every outfit?
of course I do.

hot steamy night
curves of a beautiful woman
HIV

beauty in red dress
perfect to me
lost love
