Beautiful weather
We can go to the beach
Grilling everyday

it's coming from
the house next
door, hamburgers
hot dogs, chicken
on the grill....

raking eating Halloweening

Blossoming garden grilling

hot dogs plumply burnt
juicy hamburgers with cheese
Italian chicken

a side of coleslaw
potato salad and more
gooey iced brownie...

Julie and Jim
she a stealing
he is a grilling
together their milling
she a chilling
he a pleading
she a cruzing
he a bruzing
she a flitting
he is a hurting...

Vacation
thrilling, expensive 
swimming, spending, hiking
condo, bistro, home, kitchen
cleaning, mowing, grilling
humdrum, inexpensive

Summer
Brutal, humid
Grilling, camping, hiking
Picnics, vacations, holidays, traditions
Sleighing, shivering, celebrating
Gentle, fresh

Friends have an open invitation—dusky sky—soft rock music—
It’s all part of the experience of barbecuing--quote by poet


Rustic charred mesquite fired up
Aromatic smoke 
Sweet guavas, fish, steak, grilling
Blazed creamed artichoke
Decadent pastry
Black Velvet
Lime

Nature is a mature river
She is gentle, kind, and loving
Farmers would sow and deliver
Nature is a mature river
Bring friends for grilling and running
Thus, reaping saves grief and hunger
Nature is a mature river
She is gentle, kind, and loving

An okie's love our bar-b-que.
              Grilling is an okie's fav..
             We bake it and serve it to.
               That great smoky taste.
                  Coleslaw and rolls.
                    Best in town.
                       Tasty!

a rattler flicking its 
split tongue...gathering
chemical messengers~ Prairie Dog
without a prayer

vulture, periscope downward
navigates a granulate sea, 
follows the wavering flow of tracks~
just over a grilling crest his meal
falls, pauses and pauses and pauses

he waits a bit longer on the sun, dinner
sun-baked and organic

My family and I are in the airport,
Away from the land Laporte,
My brothers are swimming,
My dad is grilling,
Sitting around a campfire,
I am sitting in a swing with a tire,
This is my summer,
Its definitly not a bummer,
Whats your summer like?
Do you ride your bike?
Dont be a bummer,
Enjoy this summer!!

LIBRARY THOUGHTS 6


Sweet spicy sounds rich rhymes reap round,
Freeze fear's face found grab grilling grounds.


Stillness spreads sure meeting moist moods,
Pique profound pure glimpses gain good.


Sweet sanctuary where wonder wills,
Love's library feels flotsam fill.

Bombs dropping
Wives shopping

Guns blazing
Frats hazing

Troops shooting
Crooks looting

Tanks rumbling
Drunks stumbling

Ships sinking
Flirts winking

More killing
Steaks grilling

Blood flowing
Moms sewing

Wounds gaping
Teens vaping

Men missing
Lips kissing

Hordes dying
Pols lying...

Hiding in a cave
Just for the rave
Not to be pave
To become Dave

I look up to the will
Searching up for pill
A remedy to my grill
Grilling me to drill

Hopping here and there
Just for me to be here
A search for a green pasture
Mopping up to dare

But no coverage
To fully outrage
Now that I am cage
On the side of my page

I jumped off to scream
Out of my dream
I got no ice to cream
What a dream, in my closet...

A robin thankful for my work
Pecks every clod of fresh 
turned dirt
A dove call permeates the air
With tones of throaty sad 
despair 

The sun sits fat above the bay
Engaged in light and shadow 
play
Scrub pines rustle in a gentle 
breeze
As if shaking off the winter 
freeze

Daffodils, tulips enjoying the 
sun
Are living proof that Spring has 
sprung
A moment in time to relax and 
stare
As charcoal grilling scents the 
air...

Dear Snickers, Incorporated:

FUN SIZE,
magically re-appearing each late September,
when compared to more everyday Thanksgiving size,
should be nearly endless,
as leisurely,
lavish,
and luxurious as melting summer vacation chocolate
on a warm Fourth of July grilling day

FUN SIZE
should not be short
and square
and spare
like a stink bug

FUN SIZE
needs to be long and wide and thick
as a ridiculous dil**.

With gratitude,

Size Queen Snickers...

I can't wait to come home everyday
I don't know what else I can say
School is just not for me
My friends and I leave so we can go on a shopping spree

When I get home I lay in my bed
I throw on a blanket and I rest my head
My mom walks in the door for me to greet
And my dad is outside, grilling some meat

We sit around the table and talk
Then we go and take my dog on a walk
I guess it's time to go to bed then
So I can get my sleep and start all over again...

I tried to do some grilling
But the sky just opened up
And it rained like Noah’s time
Each raindrop filled a cup

I’m using here hyperbole
To make a point of rain
The grilling of the burgers
Could not even begin

So I used an indoor griddle
To heat the burgers through
It wasn’t quite that bad at all
I was trying something new

I think they were less healthy
Since they sat in their own grease
Where the grill would let it drizzle down
And all that’s left was meat!...

Fourth’s here
all cheer

big crowd
so loud

hot cooks
grilling

others 
chilling

time to 
say grace

feast is
in place

drinking 
eating

neighbors 
greeting

children 
running

teen girls 
sunning

many
schmoozing

old guys
snoozing

waning 
daylight

flag flies
grand sight

more than 
token!

pledge is
spoken

God bless
U. S.

last perks
fireworks
