NaPoWriMo 2017 Week 1

7
in the elevator
I smell perfume
a lovely ghost

6
spring snow
flannel sheets
brought out again

5
snowy morning
hearing the screech of brakes
I freeze over my scrambling eggs


4
a little more sleep-
just the five minutes
between 7:30 and 8:30


3
chalk art
on the school sidewalks
sparrows play hopscotch


2
crying in the supermarket
over the sympathy cards
none of them can imagine
the defunct collection of tennis balls
and left-behind leash

1
a bit insulted
to get the senior price
but not complaining
