Vacation

Ask me where I was Monday

and nonchalantly I’ll say,

“Zip lining in the trees with much luck

somewhere in the Dominican Republic.

A perfect way to spend the day.”

Ocean’s Lullaby

Have you ever felt the ocean

rock you with its calm lullaby

while the moon is high in the sky?

The natural rocking motion

is better than a sleeping potion.

Friday night in a hotel in Fort Lauderdale.

Now I can scratch off Florida on my ‘Been there’ map

even if I only saw a teeny part.

It counts.

Of course it counts.

A little bit counts, right?
