The sprinkler twirls
The summer wanes
The pavement wears
popsicle stains.
The playground grass is worn to dust
The weary swings creek Creek with Russ
The trees are bored with being green…..

Love the film Witches of Eastwick so I've just read the book by John Updike. The film adaptation is quite far removed. Now reading the sequel The Widows of Eastwick. Imagine #Cher #SusanSarandon & #MichellePfieffer reprising their roles. The gays would go into meltdown #witchesofeastwick #johnupdike

The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells tofeel
Ripe fruit, oldfootballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk&such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with A morning haze.
