Summer

Parents on the #beach
#Segmenting their kid #circus
With lotion, #straw hats
Hoping to #obstruct outcomes
Of tantrums, gripes and sunburns

Optimistically Folorn

I stand in the #weeds
Thinking of #flying my #kite
#Plenty of free space
#Chained to loneliness, hoping
I’ll #spin the day positive

Sagan 💔

A #chill switch has flipped
Anger #birthed from illness
Just single cheek #pecks
Perfect #union too soon died
Pup to guardian angel

Plain #Reflection

Self-deprecating
Compares my mirror image
To the #sky in the #ocean
Failure…. no mystery or
Beauty, just ordinary

The Simple and the Sublime

My bucket list goal
Visit grand Australia
Not just for the roos
Or Sydney Opera House
But pretty #Waratah too

Salvation

#Deconstruct dogma
Years of indoctrination
#Emancipated
#Pressure, #fear
evaporates
Damnation loses its loud #voice

After a Run

Perfect anecdote
Swollen and aching calf’s need
Movie on my phone
A pretzel in the warm bath
Keep compulsively
stretching

Entrapment

#Bulldogs sit sentry
A devoid, #colorless #world
Where #narguns stalk prey….
Children heed these #dire warnings!
They DO NOT #provide shelter!

Waiting for the #Bus

A #portico’s view
#Redbacks crawl on #hyacinths
#Wapiti moving
Through the neighbor’s nearby fields
#Chill, eating #jelly on toast

Annual Compromise

The photog’s #awareness
#New #leaves and grass all too green
Wish for #autumn rains soon
Briefly #placated by flowers
But ready to #plumb fall’s mood

Frontier

Wild piebald #colt runs
Free under #clear #skies, chasing
Daylight, butterflies,
Cabin’s chimney #wafting #smoke
Then #grassy rolls end playtime

What a Mangled Web

“He #gelds the lily”
I laugh at his #mondegreen
“Not high poise,” he frowns
You mean ‘gilds and praise,’ don’t you?
“No, I didn’t nix them up!”

Her little heart beats,
The winds of change shake her core.

She's Small but mighty.
The miniature fighter.

She never regrets the hunt.
