Evening sun

Evening sun threads light /

through the verdant August grass, /

weaving cat tableau.

Skin

Every fourteen days /

you shed into a new skin. /

You: you are, you were.

Heroes

Chose heroes wisely. /

Summer breeze may raise their capes, /

But not lift your hopes.

Photo finish Friday: “Unspoken”

Unspoken

Rumbling and ugly, /

hot with unspoken hate, sky /

gray with tattered hope.

Fall is dropping hints. /

Yellow, brown, red, orange notes. /

Winter whispers: “Yes.”

Buzz

Crossing and searching, /

overhead buzzed a manmade bug. /

Cloud holds its silence.
