“Settlers”
New territories
to explore, expand, extract.
Wild game of Catan.
New territories
to explore, expand, extract.
Wild game of Catan.
Playing for hours,
waiting for respite, trying
to freeze those moments.

Examining bits,
snippets strewn like mist until
a vision unveils.
Steve D
Winding and babbling
or plunging over rapids,
always flows forward.
Steve D
Selective harvest,
taking only what you need,
and the forest thrives.
Steve D
Afternoon coffee,
neighborhood jaunt, then porch-sit.
Watch the town flow by.
Steve D
Non-stop production,
and then a moment of rest,
and I feel restless.
Steve D
Rethink word placement,
or choice, or phraseology,
to serve the story.

Ghost, you call, pointing.
Just a shadow, I explain.
And yet, I wonder.
Steve D
My three-year-old insists on calling any shadow he sees a “ghost”. I’ve tried to correct him a few times, but the more I think about it, the creepier the idea is. So I hope you all are equally creeped out. You’re welcome. *laughs in Halloween*
Wake up with morning,
steaming energy, then shift
to numbing tonic.
