The house is still
As baby breath
Falls lightly on my skin
She sighs a little sleepy sigh
And snuggles closer in
I press my nose
Against her hair
Feel that familiar pull
And close my eyes in wonder
That my heart could be so full
Daddy’s Little Engineer
Daddy’s little engineer
Exploring objects far and near
Of forbidden items known
Her favorite is Daddy’s phone
I Took a Trip to Tortall
I took a trip to Tortall
To see my younger self
And visit with some friends who only
Live up on the shelf
I fought bullies with Alanna
Rolled dice in the Rogue’s Court
Wished to see a griffin
But my visit was too short
Hermione is nice and all
And certainly she’s smart
But Kel and Daine and Daja
Have a place inside my heart
From the Soil of Sadness
I would never say that losses
Occur because they should
But from the soil of sadness
We can often grow some good
I’d never tell a friend
That bad things happened for a reason
But remember that from darkness
There will come another season
Pi Day
On March 14th, we cheer for pi
And for math games of days gone by
Math was something fun to do
The list of primes began with two
Fibonacci in a flower
Puzzles were within my power
But math and I, we grew apart
The problem sets just got too hard
Numbers now are my defeat
But once I was a mathlete
The brain is an elastic thing
Perhaps someday I’ll learn to sing
And maybe also I will find
The fun in math that once was mine
Salutations!
My computer is affected
With a most peculiar curse
Everything I try to type
Will soon come out in verse
All I want to say
In this little rhyming greeting:
Hello to the blogosphere
Thanks so much for reading!
