this unreal morning
the squirrels and the coffee
don't know - all has changed

waiting for the process
scan in progress completion --
til now, no threats found

may it be so too
tomorrow and all nights
forward for us all

Joe had to lose a trump to the Queen

a found poem
(Daily Bridge Column by Frank Stewart: 9/27/16) 

You hold:

Your partner opens one heart,

you respond one spade and he rebids two hearts.

What do you say?

The deal appears to be a misfit.

Your partner surely has a six-card heart.

He has shown minimum opening values

and may have no tolerance for spades at all.

Pass.

When you have no trump fit, stop bidding.

Both sides vulnerable.

there is no reverse
for birds, only forward flight
in all types of sky

friends gather around the screen
leaning in and giggling
to keep a secret

amid pastel animal prints
by children that double
as advertisements

New Growth

fruit born
from seeds long sown
in this everchanging garden

brings grace
to our quaking leaves
and hearts

start now to do what
is right in your heart
now right do start
