August 20: Summer reading

summer romance
a breeze turns the pages
of her book

August 19: Plums

ripe plums
picked under a half moon
I saved you some

August 18: Rain

another thunderstorm
his grey sweatshirt
warm from the dryer

August 17: Blackberries

you took the words
right out of my mouth
wild blackberries

August 16: Turkeys

the widower's yard
turkey poults
gleaning bird seed

August 15: Crows

sense of dread
following voices of crows
down to the river

August 14: Fog

creeping fog
the cricket's music
slower
 

August 13: Frog pond

water lilies
we don’t notice at first
all the frogs

August 12: New moon

new moon
a barking dog
becomes an owl

August 11: Perseids

meteor shower
birthday
all those wishes

for Mom

August 10: Osprey

boat show parking
osprey hovers over
a sea of cars
