Awake August
August 30th, 2016


the sunflower
reaches heavenward
the better to be seen
waving farewell
Awake August
August 29th, 2016


taffetas
the mauves of evening
romance....
Awake August
August 28th, 2016



The loom beckons
the shuttle flies
and we wind our days
into skeins of life
Awake August
August 27th, 2016


the small birds
make way for the flicker
who comes to drink 
at the lady's feet

deadheading the chamomile
my thoughts wander to
winter, tea, friends,
conversation...

Awake August

the delphinium that returns in october,
for an encore
has chosen instead
to brighten the late summer

so what does that portend for
autumn?

remembrances of a marriage
warm the heart
