What would we do without it?

English still be bad

The grass is now green

Cows are grazing happily

Baby calves bouncing

Cousin visiting

Brought a bottle of whiskey

What is my own name?

Donna Bradley Burcher

Yes, of course I did

I won’t say no to chocolate

Even your last piece

I was first to wake

You were left to dream some more

Just make the bed, dude

Mayme O’Neill

Summer, please come soon.

Bring bright mornings and warm nights.

Bring crickets and calm.

Woke up too early

compensated with caffeine.

Now I cannot sleep.

You’re in Central or Eastern.

Siri, what time is…?

Stephanie Hrnack

Southwest Airlines Federal Credit Union

Texas in Spring

Sunshine and blue skies,

Twisters, thunder, rain, and hail

The weather’s fickle!

Someone tries to speak.

Olivia, are you there?

We cannot hear you.

Frustration

Baby is asleep.

Mom is able to sleep, too.

Oh no! Doorbell rings!

Laundry

Dirty laundry cleaned.

A sense of accomplishment!

Ugh! Pile is growing.

Aging

Crinkles near my eyes

Laugh lines surrounding my mouth

Signs of life well-lived

Vicki Decker

the phenomenal culture

makes all days good ones

it is Easter time

Once more I prevail

The evil word is vanquished

Victory is sweet

She came to me to assure

Joy and Happiness

Reading the paper

Gives me a panic attack

Skip to the comics!

Babe smiling so sweet

I smile in loving exchange

As she passes gas

Rain is falling down.

Flowers are trying to bloom.

Begging for sunshine.

Bikinis are small.

Getting into shape is hard.

Screw it! Eat the cake!

The lake is calling.

Friends, drinks, and fun on the waves.

Jump in and get wet!

Peggy Esch

Slow moon in the East

Spent the night hopping over

My short house – now West!
