The Simple Things

by Leslie

playing in the dirt

They have a playset,
a Barbie Jeep, countless toys…
they prefer the dirt.

Sidewalk chalk

Home

nowhere to go and
nowhere to be, except home
and all together

Sisters Pool

Lucy

we got the pool out
for the first time this season
summer’s almost here!

Julia's Three Piggy Opera

she’s grown up so much
but today, she was little
- a little piggy

Playing

the flowers erupt
like their giggles on the lawn
vibrant - just like them

one day when I’m old
I’ll sit and look at this space
and remember this

My first place ribbon

her first place ribbon
made her feel so special she
made one for me, too

I’m almost afraid
to say we’re going away
something might stop it

Dear Morning Sickness,
You are one contrary bitch.
I really hate you.

Dear Chinese Food Meal,
I wanted to eat you, but
the baby didn’t.

Dear Baby Belly,
I hope there’s two in there
to justify your size.

Dear Ultrasound Test,
It’s so hard to wait for you.
Hurry up. Get here.

Dear Baby Belly,
If there’s two in there, tap twice.
Quit making me puke.

Shortcut

What’s hard about golf?
You put it in the hole, right?
But what’s the club for?

growing a baby
but it’s my bra, not my pants
that no longer fit
