County Road 43

the road became a tree-lined tunnel—flickers of
crepuscular rays try to play tag with the squirrels 
as they stutter-dash across the shafts of you’re-it!
a free for all, until the road-tires butt-in—
flattening all the rules on a tire-treaded squirrel.

the light reacts with a sudden shift—to renew.
anticrepuscular rays converge to the antisolar point.
a change in perspective as the

A WINDY SUMMER DAY

A WINDY SUMMER DAY 

Planes sailing the sky…
Waving trees shadow the sun…
Kid’s paper plane day…

Non Confrontational

refreshing Autumn 
Summer furnace coals gone cold

murderous mittens and her side kick tiger socks

La la la, la-la-la, laaa-la!

SO THE KITTY SAID TO ME,

Fun Marathon Poetry Inspired by Robert Frost -2

The course is lovely, hills are steep
But I need a steady pace to keep
And miles to go–I must dig deep
And miles to go–I must dig deep

Fun Marathon Poetry Inspired by Robert Burns

Quiet as a mousie studying the route
Praying proper prep is not in vain
The best laid plans of marathoners
       Might lead to disarray
Race day ending in grief and pain
       At the expense of joy!

Paint Night on Saturdays

brushstrokes across canvas of mine
flow smoother and mellower with wine

Peru

As more than a few
flew to Peru
to peruse the view
who knew
or had a clue
what a man's to do
in the cerulean blue
but stand in the queue
to use the loo
and if you go too
or tootle on through
in lieu of a zoo
you're due to accrue
sights of a llama or two
in Machu Picchu

Weekend wind down

you're laying back and toking
is that a funny cigarette you're smoking?
~ looking suspiciously calm and mellow
