Sherman Oaks [an extract]


Fondest memories of all
  (Lacking total recall)
Are of evenings relaxed
  After days not too taxed
With my son and his wife
  Sharing in the good life
Earthquake's upset behind
  Restoration in mind
Garden flowing with fruit,
  Blooms and spices to boot --
And that marvelous sight
  Of the hummingbird's flight!
