cottage rose petals 
glisten in the morning sun ~
diamond petals

winter's iced roses
preserve summer's wanderlust~
cottage garden dreams

snow melting petals
welcoming springs rose rebirth~
cottage allurement

perfumed scents welcomed 
as the summer roses bloom~
cottage vacation

Premium MemberContinental Summer Rental

Well it's Summer again 
Let's vacation my friend 
Tell me, where should we go?

If you swear not to tell
I hear Greenland's for sale
But I really don't know 

It came straight from the VEEP
We can get it dirt cheap
Cuz they lost all that snow

We'll keep drilling for oil
Steal the gold from their soil
That way, nothing will grow

So pack passport and bags
Some American flags
Baby, let's start this show

With our vigor and verve
We can muster our nerve
And then tell them to blow

Premium MemberMid Summer Blues

we thought we were ready
till the unexpected fell upon us

such high expectations
for fun and adventure
plans for get-aways
excursions and discoveries

the days and weeks go by
another summer slips away

Premium Memberunder its spell

summer time in Crete was intoxicating
the beach the sky the sun the sea
our vacation was coming to its abrupt end
we said our goodbyes and promised to return
knowing we were leaving our hearts behind

Premium MemberWhen Summer Is Gone

It is time to get back to school, seeing all our missed friends. Closet cleaning and shopping, we need some warmer clothes. The beach and pool have been, sent on a vacation. The cookouts are all gone, being replace with holiday eats. This is what happens, when summer is gone. Do not fret, summer will return in all it's glory.

Premium Memberbaigne de soleil - bathed in sun

(a poem in several Haiku and Senryu stanzas)

The molten gold sun
on cerulean canvas
breeze borne cirrus clouds

flawless days stretching
like sun-kissed bodies - crisp white
linen cabanas

lips roughly sore from
innumerable kisses
we shimmer white hot.

Lulling rhythmic waves -
heavens extravagant taste
- on leisure sculpt days

masterpiece pleasures,
love’s instigative brushstrokes,
paint compelling joy

month
July
arrives in
style! On the 4th, 
fireworks explode;
it's midday sun ablaze! 
ice cream truck sirens blare and
neighborhood kids run out for treats. 
summer swallows fly high in the sky. 
hurray! 'tis time for fun and vacation! 

Premium MemberSummer Kids

on sprouting kid legs
awkward with adolescence
they claim their summer

landing like wild birds
on circular grassy paths
called by adventure

late afternoons, they
corral their urban horses
herds of silver schwinns

flashing bright, they are
off, majestically young
against the sunset

carelessly they ride the crest
turning always to the west
