ReadWritePoem challenged us to use these words in a poem: dizzy, squall, crow, fierce, flinch, tomorrow, emporium, reverberate, pepper, tendril, saffron, rust. I managed three of them.

The sun shimmers
on the pond
as I sit in my son’s
new home
He and my husband
are talking motorcycles
their conversation
peppered with timers
heads, pistons, flywheels
until I’m dizzy.
Tomorrow, they have
a landscaping project
and while they are doing that,
I’ll go to the bookstore
to check out the poetry
books and to Michael’s
for cool pens. Then, I’ll
sit on the deck and read.
Right now, I have a glass
of wine waiting
and more stimulating
bike talk. And the sun
is shining
at my son’s.
