Premium Member A Lazy day on a Porch
Dog is lying in the shade, his butt under the car’s tire I bask in the sun, loving the Vitamin D Wind picks up in a savage way Shiny coral leaves dance in a macabre way Dead, they forgot to fall off their branches last fall Next month the new growth will begin Will the neonates force the oldsters to the...

The black comes out as crumbles. My dogs are overjoyed that...

A Screened-In Porch
There’s nothing like a screened-in porch To help me to relax. It brings to me a comfort My apartment surely lacks. The birdsong and the swishing leaves, The swaying of the trees, Combined with the caresses Of the gentle summer breeze All add up to such a fine retreat That, on this lovely day, Every stressor in my life is somehow Swatted clean away. ...

Premium Member Happy Hour on Mabel's Porch
I see the photo and I am there, taking the picture of my friends at happy hour on Mabel’s porch, Penny smiling, bare feet on railing board, Mabel holding up her cocktail glass, Jeannie reading a book, and Sue just grinning for the camera. Shorts, bathing suits, coverups, damp sun-bleached hair order of the day. I smell coconut sunscreen, join the chatter and...
