September 4th poems from monthly booklets


 early September

near the courts, a tennis ball

in poison ivy  

a patch of yellow - 2005

~ ~ ~ ~

Labor Day

sweeping the dust from one place

to another

just before dawn - 2006

~ ~ ~ ~

having the most fun

ever at a football game

junior band student

a crisp brown leaf - 2015

~ ~ ~ ~

Summer

trudges on, its

heat softened this year. Kids

have returned to school. Football is

on us . . . (from ADG editorial, '02)

September Cinquains - 2018

~ ~ ~ ~

Trying 

to wipe the stem

off a pear on the mug,

thinking it leaf litter, perhaps

a bug.

September Cinquains -  2020

~ ~ ~ ~

opening

before my eyes--

pot of purslane blooms

fishing off the dock - 2021
