A Few Summer Poems

 CINQUAINS

FROM THE PORCH SWING

My back'

to the roses

by the Couchwood Drive sign,

their beauty stands for others to

enjoy.

EACH DAY

Mornings,

when I sit out,

I should look around for

something new. Today, it's rain on

the ramp.

SOMETHING NEW

Today,

when I look out, 

I see six white toadstools

of different sizes on the south

side yard.

I WATCH

Juvy

female redbird

perches on the shepherds

crook above the purslane pot. Then

she bathes.

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC

Night bugs

not waiting for

dark to begin their songs.

Now, polyphonic arias

emerge.
