the long hours stretch
monotonous drone silence
something is missing.

Morning rain, noisy
edging dreams away for me.
Waking to sunshine.

Posted on August 13, 2017 by

I will guard the way,
waiting ’til you come again.
No pirates allowed.

Wet Summer Day

Posted on July 12, 2017 by

The dark clouds run low
teasing tree tops bending low.
Purple flashes now.

Sunset

Blood red sky,

Thunder crashes overhead,

When will it rain?

Teapot

Posted on June 13, 2017 by

A cup of  great tea
needs water boiling just so.
No whistling, no tea.

I put on the teapot for a cup of tea, it never whistled – so my new teapot has boiled dry and melted the lid.  A nice way to end the day.

Posted on June 13, 2017 by

The barking dog runs
out to chase the fireflies
and finds a rabbit.
