family gone home
my kitchen and bathroom
back in order

long family weekend
hostess to lthe oved ones
is a ton of work

family visit
chatting all night with sister
and eating dip

chilly willy night
hot cocoa and blankets
in front of TV

day four of diet-
flavored water for lunch
instead of pizza

no sleep kind of night
trying to break writer's block
and weekend plans

cold winter night
wishing for a gust of air
to quench this flash
