Stormy weather

Red in the morning
Dark clouds through the afternoon -
rain coming tonight?

After the solstice

Monday, laundry day,
sheets and blankets stripped and washed,

Solstice

Father, food and games,

dreaming of Northwest.

Dr. Seuss flowers,
bee balm's bright red fright wigs sprout
from sodden garden.

Midsummer

Fluffy mimosa
pink tufts on slender branches
overarching all.

Phew

Lashing thunderstorm,
stinky tree of heaven smell,
close all the windows.

Good morning

On Monday mornings
prayers and meditation,
laundry to be done.

Zmmmm, Zmmm, Zmmm  - all day
Weedwhackers, lawnmowers buzz;
no quiet Sunday.

Startling me awake, but then,

Before the rainstorm

Heavy green stillness,
The shadowed trees stand in rank,
not even bird song.

Tuesday

Yesterday's heat gone.
Today's nor'easter brings us
cold, gray, steady rain.

Dessert

You never know, when
you peel the mandarin, what
the flavor will be.
