winding road
hair flying every which way
grassy hills and open fields
farms and cows and weeds
everything a kid could see
winding road
Tag: summer
at water’s edge
spotted
Spotted
robins.
Three of them.
Young ones, for sure.
Fledglings, nestlings,
constant feedings.
Papa Robin worn thin, too worn for singing.
Evening songs competing
with cicadas
and crickets.
Ribbits.
When did that happen?
You know, Summer running up ahead,
glancing back. And that snotty grin?
Summer’s promise, the long days of june.
Done
And
Done.
Ahh ….
Spotted
lady,
painted bright and new as spring.
Me? I’m whining and lamenting
where this weird old summer’s going.

quiet
the days are long enough and the sun stays high enough
for the last light of the day to make it in from the west

once in a lullaby
somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
there’s a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby

there was thunder
“There was thunder from the throne.”
– Seven Spanish Angels, duet by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson –
lulling
your voice is soft
like summer rain
– Jolene, Dolly Parton –

wordless wednesday … mid-day

Just a note …
Beginning this week, I will post less often. I want to spend more time outside, and I’ve got a couple of projects I want to focus on. To be clear, I don’t have a WIP … I’m not the publishing type. But I’m trying to collect and organize what I’ve written so I have a way to preserve what’s important to me in a good quality printed version.
