This Afternoon a Happening
THIS AFTERNOON
The sun shone.
I mowed the lawn today,
it had rained for the past week;
The grass was lush,long
I could smell
Autumn coming....

Friday Afternoon
Friday afternoon a Jew's week winds down
His affairs wrapped up before sundown
He puts away his workman's dress
Then dons his finery, his Sabbath best...

A King's Finery
Friday afternoon a Jew's week winds down
His business shuttered
Tired sun sinks toward the ground
A workingman puts away his modest dress
~ A newly crowned king dons his Sabbath best...

One Afternoon
One afternoon, a meeting goes endless
With all the long talk, it seem meaningless
The man seated next to me,
Buzzing like a bumblebee,
Makes a loud snoring sound, rousing the guests

He Wears a Blue Hot Uniform
On a hot spring afternoon, a wet postman
Hurries down the sidewalk home.
I catch him stepping on a new white iris,
And were I not alone, I would but
Scold him, but I would not, instead,
I wouldst hand him a cold coke for his dripping head,
Then pat him on his shoulder and pick up a dropped letter,
On this unseasonably hot afternoon....

The Water Listens
Asleep at night, tucked into dreams
Waves retreat, the water beats
Soft awake, whispered words
The water's there, waves silent prayer
A wintry morn, the sun's rays bright
Waves glisten, the water listens
Late afternoon, a chill return
Waters merge, whitecaps surge
Moonlit eve, hearts on sleeves
Waves subside, the waters glide...

Thoughts On a Rainy Day
Gloom of morning comes calling
With fog rolling off her back
Gray skies are equally appalling
When nimbus clouds are black
Bringing steady rain without slack.
Late afternoon a feeble sun appears
To brighten an otherwise dreary day
Lifting our spirits as evening nears
Lets us believe all is going to be okay
Tomorrow blue skies will be so gay.

Coffee
Grind the beans and start the pot.
Listen to it percolating - Smell
Drifting into the kitchen, ahhhh.
Patiently waiting to wake up, hot
Steaming brew. Milk, sugar in cup.
Two morning drinks. Afternoon, a
Little libation, eases into the head.
Bingo - Coffee, Kahula, Brandy,
Whipped cream. Yummy, just right.
When I was working, I would drink
My coffee from morning until night....

Late One Afternoon
It happened late one afternoon.A wink of an eye,a smile on a face,a sweaty palm,a shaky
hand,it happened late one afternoon.A walk in the park,dinner for two,the sharing of one
fork,a pallet on the floor,it happened late one afternoon.Holding hands in public,a kiss for no
reason a hug because your here,a midday back rub,it happened late one afternoon.What
happened you ask?I'll tell you my friend , what happened late one afternoon,its love,i fell in
love late one afternoon....
