A morning of sun
Aglow with dreams and hopes
Summer in autumn

Not Yet Fallen
Last of summer sun
Cool winds blow through leafy trees
Still lushly verdant
Lunch to Go
The goldfinch sways on his stalk —
Another yellow spot
on a summer sunflower
Beachgoing
A sunlit fall day
Recalls a summer pastime
The scent of the sea
Seasonal Haiku
arbor rain smells
of chlorophyll and earth
worms and robins
muddied sneakers
a snowflake falls
on an early
snowdrop
lackadaisical:
a chime lounges
on a windless day
elegant trees shed
teardrops of red
and ocher
Note: It’s been a while…I hope you all are well. =)
Growing Season
A ray of light piercing
the storm clouds
invokes thoughts of spring
and long days of summer;
a growing season
when I can, at last
lift my head
from the ashes.
Cicada’s Flight
seven long years of struggle underground
and this summer, only a shell split down the middle
to show where you first spread your wings
Heatwave
waiting for the cool skirt of night
to sweep away the Indian summer
I am brown and over-ripe
and seek the relief of harvest
Clock Out
evening wind scatters
the humid traces of mid-noon
pouring into the streets
men loosen their ties
Stifling Summer Nights
humid night lays a blanket
over a fretful sleeper
waiting for midnight
