30 September 2013

Spider web and rain.
Glistening jewels amid
My yard's greenery.

29 September 2013

Long past sunset, and
The pond reflects moon and stars.
My world is silent.

28 September 2013

Minor chords ring out
In a bass line...Beethoven
Playing in the night.

28 September 2013
(That's Piano Sonata No. 26)

27 September 2013

With two new CDs
And a book of poetry,
It's a good mail day.

26 September 2013

Sparrows gathering
In the Japanese maple,
Flying at slight sounds.

25 September 2013

I walk out the door
And dozens of birds fly off
The crabapple tree.

23 September 2013

A two-blanket night,
And not even October.
But, still, I slept well.

23 September 2013

22 September 2013

Clean sheets on the bed,
Clean towels in the bathroom...
Two simple pleasures.

21 September 2013

As the seasons change,
Birds cluster around a bush

Still producing seeds.

20 September 2013

Sitting on the porch,
Listening to Beethoven.
A fine afternoon.

19 September 2013

Dozing on the porch.
Suddenly, a there's downpour.
And then, sun  and steam.

18 September 2013

The system crashes...
Momentarily, despair.
Internet returns.

16 September 2013

Bodies in D.C.
Another gunman, more dead.
Grief overwhelms me.

16 September 2013

12 September 2013

Waking this morning
To sheets of rain, and thunder,
And a frightened dog.

12 September 2013

11 September 2013

Clear, blue skies, no wind.
Pavements shimmer from the heat.
But storms will come soon.

9 September 2013

Listening tonight
"...When I paint my masterpiece..."
Nothing's different.

Two for 8 September 2013

I'm out on the porch.
Rain is beating a rhythm
On the roof.  I doze.

Then, a lightning flash
Splitting the clouds, and thunder
Booms.  And I awake.

8 September 2013

7 September 2013

Spiders spinning webs
On our porch, setting traps for
Summer mosquitos.

7 September 2013

6 September 2013

Sparrows crowd around
Three unused planters, pecking
At seeds that remain.

6 September 2013

5 September 2013

I just bent over,
But that was enough.  My back
Growls at me all day.

5 September 2013

4 September 2013

Cruising down the street,
Drop-top burgundy Caddy,
Looking real cool, man.

3 September 2013

On the radio,
"All Blues" is playing softly,
I stop to listen.

1 September 2013

Thunder and lightning,
Sheets of rain all through the night,
Kept us awake, thrilled.

1 September 2013
(The dog, on the other hand, was scared to death.)
