New Poems at "First Verse"

At my blog First Verse, I've posted six new poems since Christmas, with images by Susan Rouse.

• On Track| Literally, the first thing I remember; allegorically, the rest of my life.
• Expiration Date| The apocalypse, at a Publix.
• We Thank You for the Gift of Water| Puppies are involved.
• Conspiracy Theory| The great balloon panic of 2023.
• Day after Valentine's| Happy Singles Awareness Day.
• Bike, Snake| Spoiler alert: he wasn't hurt.

I hope you'll check these, and more, at First Verse. If you do, leave a comment. Feedback keeps me scratching away at my legal pad each morning.
