Sliver of the moon
Peeking between clouds tonight
Once the storm has passed.

29 August 2013

Watching the pine tree...
Two cardinals on a branch,
Are they watching me?

28 August 2013

Waking too early,
Spending the day drowsily.
Now...time for some sleep.

26 August 2013

Doing mundane things--
Laundry, or making the beds--
Seems my life's complete.

25 August 2013

Clouds filling the sky,
Like tiles, like O'Keefe's painting,
Into the distance.

24 August 2013

Driving, 5 P.M.
Sun suddenly splits the clouds...
Blinded by the light.

24 August 2013

23 August 2013

Walking to my car,
Sweat dripping on my glasses...
Just a summer day.

22 August 2013

Two for when I'm gone:
First, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy."
Then, "Instant Karma."

19 August 2013

Sore shoulders, stiff back,
Knees that pop when I stand up--
Price of growing old.

18 August 2013

Floating on the breeze,
White and yellow moths flutter
From tree to shrub to tree.

17 August 2017

A little rabbit
Sitting beneath the pine tree
Just before sunset.

17 August 2013
(Every night this week)

15 August 2013

Clear skies, cool breezes,
Flowers blooming in the yard...
It could be late spring.

15 August 2013

14 August 2013

A rabbit munching
On the lawn, looking around
With anxiety.

14 August 2013

13 August 2013

Just after sunset,
A cooling breeze from the north...
Almost like autumn...

11 August 2013

As I try to read,
My eyes closing on their own,
I drift into sleep.

9 August 2013

A quiet day shared,
As we played with the dog and
Lazed in the sunshine.

8 August 2013

When I went outside,
The air was so thick, humid,
That I could not see.

8 August 2013
(Which is what will happen
when you wear glasses.)

6 August 2013

I woke this morning
To the sounds and aromas
Of newly-mown grass.

6 August 2013

5 August 2013

Fog shrouds the streetlights,
And I could be in post-war
Berlin, dodging spies.

5 August 2013

4 August 2013

Drifting in the pool;
My thoughts are also drifting
Without any goal.

4 August 2013

3 August 2013

Sitting in the sun,
Traffic sounds in the distance,
And a bell ringing.

3 August 2013

(That was how I spent this afternoon.)

2 August 2013

No hint of a breeze.
Even the frogs are silent.
And I cannot sleep.
