morning commute
carpet of crep myrtle leaves
fill the blocks' lawns

my only shady spot chopped down

Last weekend of Summer
the sun went on vacation
Tønder Folk Festival

in a tiny corner
of the sky- silent explosion
the color wave
dyes the clouds in pink
for a moment

thistledown
poised
waiting for a breeze

autumnal sunshine
the last spikes of buddleia
fade to brown

look at the flower,
from bud to alarming grace,
as you sip your tea

losing

my voice while singing –

cutting cut grass

sunlight
filtered through willow leaves
a dead plum tree

the fall to silence
of tree frogs and cicadas
unmasks the trees' whispers

fresh breeze
mixing up the crows
with T-shirts

autumnal rain
pelts down on the garden
poppies battered

a moment to savor
eating ice cream by moonlight
in my jammies

conker in its case–
I make friends with a Staffie
and its owner's shoe

altostratus
becomes a bowl of grey
bees on lavender

august full moon -
carbage cans in the street
at first seats

***

pleine lune d'août -
les poubelles de la rue
aux premières loges

cold sunshine
the papery seed heads
of honesty

morning commute
tuxedo marked kitten
sits under street light

lavender pom-poms
washed and sparkling in the rain
darkening sloes

La De Dah....

chatting with folks
huge dragonfly
buzzes between us
