Pervasive stillness
Periwinkle sky, ringed with
Pink and purple clouds

Pervasive stillness
kaleidoscopic nature
Rudely interrupted

something I heard today

Heat swells.
Far distant
Storm clouds
Loom large,
Move, morph.
While here
Nothing happens;
Dead still,
'cept bugs.
Corn flies
Flit by,
Break peace.

Corn flies crave swatting
One: not worth the energy
Dozens test my calm

Loud cacophony
So many words, nothing said
Large crowd tiny space

Stories end too soon;
The hero who keeps the girl...
That's worth the telling.

Income is needed
More than to survive, only
Until debts are paid

Hot July
Distant fireworks
Painted clouds
Cool breeze
Deck chairs
Just us
Full cups
No words
Complete calm
Perfection.

A three day weekend
Projects, fam'ly, friends, reflection
Seems nearly enough.

Sunlight glimmers off
the pond, apparent beauty
on the surface, scum

What have I to say?
More than just normal drivel...
Do I want to share?

Eleven-thirty
Once early, now past bedtime
Sleepless thoughts abound

Five days poem-less...
Habit worth fighting to keep,
Worth writing about.
