lavender ideas
gentling summer’s gentle rain

baby blue feelings
wafting into dreams of hope

listless mid-day
Waves of heat
Collar damp

Tall ferns greet me on the east
Along with frothy Queen Anne’s lace
And a purple lilac tree with dainty blossoms

The master of no one
The author of an imaginary missive still in the bowels of non-existence

duller than annuals

Shirts and Summers. 
Walks post beers. 
Just another day. 
Just another way to say; I miss the old 'us' -

Carefully away at the North Pole;
Santa hides them on purpose, so

He uses...
