August 31, 2013

Last of summer wine,
slipping between my fingers.
Time to make the most.

August 30, 2013

One hit wonders stream
from my phone, motivate me
to sweat out sorrows.

August 29, 2013

Fog over Clover
Point, a playground for gulls and
a haunting image.

August 28, 2013

Dull, dreary, grey day
makes my heart sink very low.
But I have warm tea.

August 27, 2013

Plunging into salt
water, cold and calm, the bird
searches for his lunch.

August 26, 2013

Tiny strawberries
on the crawling strawberry
plants by the wood fence.

August 25, 2013

Beetle crawling on
the top of my black laptop.
Where did you come from?

August 24, 2013

Sun behind white clouds
makes the sky look like the ice
filled Arctic Ocean.

August 23, 2013

Crows playing in wind
above the road by ocean.
Does anyone see?

August 22, 2013

Crawling insects haunt
my potted tiger lily.
I put it outside.

August 21, 2013

Cheery sunflower 

with a myriad of blooms

on one long green stalk.

August 20, 2013

Heron stalks over
waves in the morning sun, while
seagulls and crows watch.

August 19, 2013

Raven glides over
my head, while I stroll below,
silent, majestic.

August 18, 2013

Sun is coming out
to end the dark days I’ve had.
Flowers will bloom now.

August 17, 2013

I am sick of this.
When will the nausea end?
I will recover.

August 16, 2013

The sun has come out
after my long tortured night.
I rest quietly.

August 15, 2013

Oh food poisoning
leave me immediately.
Wretchedness and death.

August 14, 2013

By the bright window,
aloe with sunburned leaves grows,
outward in offsets.

August 13, 2013

Florescent running
shoes catching a stranger’s eye.
A spring in my step.

August 12, 2013

Yowling tabby cat,
hates the back seat of the car.
The indignity!

August 11, 2013

Ferry traffic waits
for the next boat to sail home,
while the sun shines down.

August 10, 2013

Chipmunk scurrying
across yard, excavating
under the rock wall.

August 9, 2013

Five years have flown by,
and I love you more each day,
my handsome husband.

August 8, 2013

Porcupine climbing,
up the fence to eye level,
shows his orange teeth.

August 7, 2013

Bearss lime bush baked in
hot desert sun. Citrus scent
wafts through searing air.

August 6, 2013

From waterfalls to
sunny shore, Sunnybrae lifts
my flagging spirits.

August 5, 2013

Burst of coloured wings,
jump into the air, then down
again. Grasshopper.

August 4, 2013

Shiny green plums lie
on the hot pavement under
the late summer sun.

August 3, 2013

Eagles soar above
the high sun baked sandy bluffs.
They sail towards clouds.

August 2, 2013

Little bird alights
on the dark red windowsill
and chirrups away.

August 1, 2013

Warm day, cool breeze on
the water, as I wait for
the ferry to sail.
