A day spent with books,
Browsing, dozing over them,
Reading intently.

A lazy day, and
Our lazy dog has spent her time
Just lying around.

A leaf in the dark,
Caught in a stray beam of light,
A burst of color.

A ripe crabapple,
A treat, soon to vanish,
Lunch for a squirrel.

Crabapples falling,
Rabbits and squirrels eating...
A summertime feast.

18 July 2016

Feeling  old and tired,
Sleeping in my chair, waking
Only to go to bed.

14 July 2016

No stars and no moon.
Only the street lights shining
In the lonely night.

Thunderstorm arrives,
And the dog cowers near me,
Hopes I'll protect her.

Watching a rabbit
Dining on a crabapple
Just before sunset.

A ghost-like presence
In the night…the crabapples
Glow out of the dark.

Very late last night,

The return of the bullfrog
Did not make me happy.

3 July 2016

Chilly, rainy, and
Dark all day.  The good news is--
No fireworks all day...

2 July 2016

Just after night falls,
Distant outbreaks of fireworks...
The dog hides near me.
