Poetry roundup.

electric evening
leaves rustle and birds prepare
for the coming storm
---
the dinner challenge
easily met as long as
it goes well with wine
---
bathroom lights flicker
as garbage disposal hums
gossip on the wire
---
squirrels against tree
a day for making babies
tumble, tickle, pause
---
musty old vacuum
sweeps away the crumbs and sin
smell of church remains
---
low blanket of fog
tucked into a quiet calm
mist against windows
---
hand me down pastiche
camouflage shorts, paisley shirt
shipwrecked fashion sense
---
crafty neighbor friend's
introduction to sewing
leaves me in stitches
---
first online auction
it's watching you watching things
double dog dare bids
---
bee catastrophe
the broken, dead, and dying
spelled out on pavement
---
the swollen front door
requires a hip and a shove
this fortress, our home
---
pressed against the glass
devout cats strain heavenward
pigeons on the wire
