Summer’s been sleeping,
Wasting her alotted days
Procrastinating.
Weather man keeps promising
Tomorrow for sure
We’ll see her warm sunny smile,
Yet so far it seems
She keeps on hibernating.
Will tomorrow ever come?

Simultaneous Sights and Sounds
Last night
The sun painted
The western sky orange red,
While fingers plucked harp strings
Inside.
Soothing sounds enveloped my ears,
Drowning out the darkness
Of reality
Outside.
A home
Just blocks away,
While my ears heard sweet words,
Others were being torn apart
Inside,
As the blackness of a cold heart,
Unleased its bitterness,
Drowning a soul
In tears.

Muddy Water
I wrote this after a visit to this lake with my family. It is a popular place to go in the summer, but personally I would not swim there.
SUMMER!
Celebrating the first day of Summer today–the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere!
Hope it’s sunny where you are today! If not, just enjoy the longer daylight hours!

Rain falls
Melting snow

Fact vs Reality
On the calendar,
The shortest day of the year.
December twenty first,
The first day that winter begins.
Sun shines, temp warm, work day long!

October Acrostic
Occasionally warm
Comfort foods
Turning leaves
Outside less
Buying sweaters
Everything colorful
Rainy days
