Summer
chocolate ice cream
slowly melting in the heat
of the summer sun
–
amber skies-
an ice cream truck
around the corner

Shoreline
a weathered rowboat-
mooring line gently slapping
up against the dock
–
children jumping
from the pier-
lakeside
Test
this is a test post
one one which I will delete soon
please disregard it
–
swallowtails-
lines traced in
the august sky
Hunt
above the highway
a red tailed hawk circling
riding the thermals
–
hunting-
an osprey plummets
to the sea
Ash
a viking long boat
trailing ash and smoke floating
towards valhalla
–
central park-
cigar ashes on
the chess board
Notes
second grade romance-
a slip of paper folded
and passed hand to hand
–
mardi gras-
her number on
a bar napkinL
Café
a sidewalk cafe-
lunch forgotten as a crow
lands on my table
–
al fresco-
a rain drop
in my coffee
Waterfall
born of the mountains
falling over age worn stone
scattering the sun
–
summer solstice-
roaring water
fills my ears
River
cold mountain water-
a riverbed lined with stones
tumbled smooth by time
–
the forest green-
a whispering brook
shares its secrets
TEST
the bathroom mirror-a message written in steamappears in your hand–starlit noon-steam poursfrom off the rocks
