snowbank
becoming
compost
[March 31, 2005]
empty coffee pot
gotta go
gotta go
[March 30, 2005]
one small patch
of muddied snow —
the creek keeps rising
[March 29, 2005]
her chocolate breath
mingles with mine —
easter sunset
hills behind
snow mist —
tailgater in the mirror
our chilly hug —
ice encircles
the island
[March 28, 2005]
more gray heads
at the easter meal —
withered cattails in the yard
easter monday:
three baskets
late but full
[March 27, 2005]
giant chocolate bunny!
solid
or hollow?
when we were kids
it smelled bad —
decorating easter eggs
[March 26, 2005]
can’t hear
the compliments
Good Friday
the apostate
sees crosses everywhere
[March 25, 2005]
floes jam
below the trestle —
a flood of warnings
[March 24, 2005]
the duckling
skirts the ice floe —
our river rendezvous
mom’s voice long distance
first thought,
who died?
[March 23, 2005]
big thaw overnight –
reflections
on the river
[March 22, 2005]
last snowbank —
the soccer ball
re-emerging
[March 21, 2005]
spring arrives —
new snow brightens
old snowbanks
[March 20, 2005]
frozen river–
snow hides
the elm’s reflection
from Manichi Daily News
March 5, 2005 (No. 669)
I hesitate —
the plumber’s
offered hand
new leaves
soon!
savoring the winter view
St. Patrick’s Day —
drawing the
designated-driver straw
[March 18, 2005]
Saints Patrick
and Christopher —
sharing a brew and a ride
[March 17, 2005]
March sunrise —
back pain
interrupts
[March 16, 2005]
first warm day
her pale
gloveless hands
[March 15, 2005]
the lawyer
represents himself —
the widow’s raised fist
March 15, 2005
where the man
fell in yesterday —
more thin ice
[March 14, 2005]
they point out
the differences —
meeting twins
[March 13, 2005]
mid-March thaw —
et tu,
(snow) buddha?
St. Paddy’s parade —
at the curb
green and yellow snow
[March 12, 2005]
new eyeglasses —
a duck,
or a boot, on the ice
[March 11, 2005]
my childhood barber shop–
only the mirror
is different
[March 10, 2005]
filling the pan
on the radiator —
icicles drip
[March 9, 2005]
just as slippery
in March —
icy roads
[March 8, 2005]
March snow
wanting more
not wanting more
[March 7, 2005]
men’s room sink —
avoiding
the mirror

March —
those big fat
snowflakes

the dog
gets all her kisses —
chilled by a wagging tail
[March 5, 2005]
setting a timer
to remember
to set the timer
first sunny day
in March —
her first smile this month
[March 3, 2005]
charming the pretty
bookstore clerk — one more
skill learned too late
winter wind —
i’m tired,
why aren’t you?
[March 3, 2005]
path to the river —
“fresh scent” wafts
from the dryer vent
he calls two inches
eight —
embarrassed weather man
[March 1, 2005]
Whatever the outcome of the criminal trial, I believe that the Capoccia Scandal — the enormous harm that lawyers perpetrated on their clients — could have been prevented if bar counsel had done their duty in 1997 and 1998, when Capoccia’s debt-reduction business was launched and spread across New York State. Instead of acting, they found excuse after excuse for not even investigating, leaving many thousands of clients to the wiles of Andrew Capoccia and his law partners.
