Charlene James-Duguid’s most recent poem to appear here was “Deny Friday 13” (October 2017)

We age, shop, hold hands.
Not much else to do, when body
Is tin can for soul.

*

Little left in life.
Relish what is and can be.
Caterpillar does.

*

Happy thoughts flap wild,
Clothesline full, gamely whipped as
Small wrens tip the pole

*

Fear of forgetting
Runs rampant at my Bridge Club
Or is it Canasta?
