The day
Dusk betrays the day, /
turns light into sour moments /
left cold for the stars.

Saturday silliness: “The stack”
The stack
Book pile grows higher. /
Tree of knowledge overflows /
Into empty rooms.

Colors riot through /

touching but not touched.

Saturday silliness: “Foul play”
Fowl play
The turkey showed up for /
Thanksgiving. /
His goose was cooked.

Not my photo, but needed something to go with my short, humorous poem. I call the creation in the photo a turcrabasage.

Shadow song of fall.

“Butterfly”
Butterfly
When I see a butterfly,
I think of you.
Not because you flutter
And onto other flowers move.
No, you are more steady
Than that,
A Gardner’s steady
In a wide brimmed hat.
Turning the soil
And amending where needed
So the butterflies will come
To the flowers seeded.
They know not the beauty
Of your touch.
Only the beauty
Of summer’s flower rush.
I think of you
When I see butterflies,
Fluttering up and around
Reaching for the bright blue sky
Then swooping back to your prepared ground.
.
.
For Beth

Two helpings of Sabbath
“The day of rest comes but once a week, and sorry am I that it does not come oftener. Man is so constituted that he can stand more rest than this. I often think regretfully that it would have been so easy to have two Sundays in a week, and yet it was not so ordained. The omnipotent Creator could have made the world in three days just as easily as he made it in six, and this would have doubled the Sundays. Still it is not our place to criticize the wisdom of the Creator.” – Reflections on the Sabbath – Mark Twain
