Wings wide, day unfolds, /
seeds attract a rowdy flock. /
Morning kerfuffle.

Obscured
Moon obscured on high, /
passing through the August sky /
clouds veil, then goodbye. /

Morning
Slow snails, fast ants /
August dawn turns morning. /
Sunlight brings forth shade.

August
Ah, crap, August comes /
And I feel so incredibly dumb. /
I had plans to do so much, /
Now they lay piled, an incomplete bunch. /
I planned to travel, to go far, /
But did not make it beyond my car /
And to the chores that needed doing /
That had been brewing and chewing /
Up all my time /
Until the world sublime /
Has moved to August as it now stands /
School and promises hand in hand. /
Maybe next year I’ll visit a museum /
And to libraries — well, I can still go see them. /
Maybe check out a book and make plans /
To go, next May, to some far off lands.

Work day
Bee has no time clock. /
Only sun, life, instinct, work. /
Grace in the effort.

Leaf
With one fallen leaf, /
fall hints at its arrival. /
Summer’s fullness ends.

Common
Common sunflower, /
uncommon summer heat. /
Home is hard to leave.

Descending
Doves descending, /
vying for first at morning feast. /
Surrounding sky calm.

Blue jay
Young blue jay scouting, /
side hoping toward a peanut. /
Rock doves soon descend.
