Man-made Rain

splashing like children
even the old woodpecker
man-made rain

Faces to the Sun

I’m thinking summer today, to counteract the winter scene I’m seeing. 🙂

balck-eyed susans.sky

Brown-eyed susans
their faces follow the sun
to the end of summer

the swimming hole
dipping once more
into summer fun

roadside sunflowers
leaning away from the rude wind
where has summer gone

abandoned sand castle
the hermit crab claims
squatter’s rights

summer windows
the gorgeous scenery
white-splattered

tree swallow
sky diving into
a mosquito cloud

tree swallow perched

this refreshing pond
so soon will yield its ripples
to conquering winds

luscious red berries
waiting for me to enjoy—
oh, those greedy birds!

do you still know me
birdies — in my new sun hat
pretty pink feathers
