Premium MemberHalf Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall

Why is Sumner such a short time?
Just getting started,
then running into half past summer.
July seems to be the half way mark,
August is almost here.
August will turn into September then into October,
then fall will be here.
Fall with cooler days,
a pretty carpet of colorful leaves covering the ground.

AUTUMN BREEZE


I can feel the Autumn breeze
The leaves are changing in some of the trees
Beautiful yellow, orange and red
All along the sides of the avenue ahead
In summer sometimes it was hard to sleep
Now the nights are cooler and the sleep is deep
Autumn is my favourite time of year
The chirping birds are all I can hear
The

Premium MemberThe Cooler

ice can be sculpted 
into an ax, a ring; shatter;
soap, a thumb pop;
used to keep water
and soda pop
chill and give the kids a reason
for sitting still.

ice can slide over the neck,
legs, arms - deliciously melt;
can make a kid laugh,
under his shirt.

Send the kid to the cooler
when the sun is concentrated,
glaring at us as if dusk
won’t

Premium MemberWater Cooler Chatter

How many remember the typewriter
With it's clickety clack sound
For those that do you can never forget
That sound so familiar
To every office before computers
A sound so remenicent
So nostalgic to those who remember
Those long lost days from another era
Unless you lived through them
They are sounds gone by
Never to be heard again in todays
High tech world of instant

The Looney Toon August Moon
David J Walker

Blame it on the moon 

The monthly insanities 
The nightly vanities 

The comings
The going 

the longings 
In lonely mornings 

The Moon is to blame 
For all of the insane 

Things I can name and
It is as plain as day that

The night might 
Or might not sway things

Another way
In the

Premium MemberJust An Old Cooler

Just an Old Cooler

Not much to look at,
Hard to carry,
Won’t through it away.

To you, it looks dirty,
To me, it looks used.
From the late 1960s

To you, it appears empty,
To me, it's full of memories.
I miss my dad so much,
The tears well up, flowing out.

Camping trips to Spruce Knob.
Just me and dad and
The squirrel that got the

Premium MemberAir Is Cooler Amid Kamikaze Leaves

Sun visits in sharp fractal shadows through the oaks
Lunate leaves glide effortlessly toward her mushrooms
Raining leaf flow is constant, scarlet and amber go next. 

Xiphoid brown performs perfect kamikaze from Cottonwood
The air is cooler today, squirrels are chattering their delight.
Chasing through leaf piles. I begin to see their high up nests.

Contrast to tree bark which

Cooler

There is a fine line between visceral hatred and love. What side am I on?
Sweat runs into my eyes mixed with my tears and anger. Angry at myself or at it? Hard to say. I see only in a tint of gray. Regret fills my lungs like the muddy waters of the river in which

A Cooler Place

I looked for shade on that Summer's day
My body is made for a cooler May
By a river to wade I found the way
Lie or be laid where coolness may stay
High up the grade where zephyrs will play
Nigh on the blade where green grass forms hay
Shy of the trade where water turns grey
Sly but not afraid

Premium MemberFishing Friday

Boat’s hooked up
Cooler’s packed
Got my hat
First beer’s cracked.
Crank bait on
Poles are ready
Off I go now
Slow and steady.
Troll around
The lily pads
Cast and reel
Almost had him.
Now off I go
It’s the end of the day
With stories to tell
How he got away.

Nothing I can do about that though.

Our fall has arrived early
Suddenly fallen
From heaven into our laps
Accept this gift gracefully

Cooler Days

Now, come cooler days,
   wind riding on morning haze
   and the once cloudless clear skies
   find billowy puffs in uncovered lies.
A sudden wind and rain storm
   teases the earth to resurface, be reborn
   but the chill lies low upon the ground
   a autumn

Cooler Nights

Cooler nights
Autumn breeze,
brighter lights
soon will freeze...
One more day
One more night,
there is no way
I am taking flight...
Live for today
not for tomorrow...
For everyday
Joy and sorrow...
Life is short
Live to the fullest...
Praise the Lord,
for He is worthy...
Soon He will come
and take us home...
Prepare to meet your God
and worship Him alone...
