for miles of shoreline. My feet ecstatic

Dowdy, dressed in tans and browns

She brought pumpernickel bread to work
And shared it with me, along...

less-than-perfect

The last moment of light
But it is not gone
The sun travels around the globe

Bask in the fireworks of its bounty
Weep for the hoar frost tinged roses
