Premium Member Half 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....

Premium Member Tenth of July
It's quite a bright dusk today I would choose Neapolitan yellow for the sky Although I haven't touched colours for years After all, images and paintings are quite enough So why create more without urgent necessity? The thick foliage of the trees around the balcony Stands still as if painted on a canvas It’s a heatwave now, I'm sitting in my...

Premium Member Good Morning America
Good morning America. Today, July 4, 2025, I looked out of my front window, and at 6AM saw a most beautiful sky. Locked into this eastern canopy was a very eye-catching coloration, reminding me of the colors of the American flag. Yes, America, like our flag, it was red, white, and blue. No, there were no stars and strips, but I...

Grieving is a journey not a set time frame Our first holiday without our son is today, July 4th He was an adult, so we may not have spent the day with him but his absence was felt as it is felt every day I think we have learned that it is possible to feel happiness and joy while grieving but the loss is still new...

On the 4th of July
Today, they’ll fire up the grill For burgers, hot dogs, ribs And hungry guests will gather ‘round To point and claim first dibs. I will not be among them, Though I’ll not be too forlorn; My husband mashed potatoes And made chicken and some corn. At night there will be fireworks But we will not attend. We’ll watch a Netflix series Where we’re...

July 4th
Reusable coffee cup with a metal straw My small pathetic efforts Are covered by filth As fumes of rich suited bastards cover our longings in excrement Snatch the medicaid from your dying Grandmother's mangled hand To fill another yacht With fake breasts and Botox filled martini glasses The masses are happy it's July 4th But I can only hope for...
