“Obscured”

Obscured

Moon obscured on high, /

passing through the August sky /

clouds veil, then goodbye. /

“August”

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.

“Scents”

Scents

Summertime bread /

expands the kitchen with scents /

slowly lost to time.

“Early”

Early

Early are the winds /

when they are just a breeze /

building from a thought.

“Momentarily”

Momentarily

Red among the green, /

the cardinal grips a limb — /

momentarily.

“Battlefield”

A British sentry cuts a lonely picture as he stands at his post at sunrise in France, March 1915.

Battlefield

Battlefield sentry, /

fearing with the sunrise that /

fog and hope will lift.

Devil’s love

Devil’s love

Love-in-a-Mist is /

also Devil-in-a-bush. /

Such is motherhood.

Author

Author, dear author, /

I relent, I repent, I plead: /

“Give me one more chance!”

“One tries”

One tries

One lies and one stands, /

cat in darkness, dog in light. /

Wonder and return.
