Summer slipping past,
I try to forget basking
in Las Vegas heat.

August 30, 2014

Our sleep was blissful,
on gorgeous linens, soft bed.
No yahoos round here.

August 29, 2014

Beeping, club noise, drunks
fighting in the hall, does not
make a restful night.

August 28, 2014

Flying south in search
of scorching sunlight to swim.
Will miss my plump cat.

August 27, 2014

Unsavoury task,
shall I procrastinate you?
Time is running out.

August 26, 2014

Always new, never
old, different with each look.
Tahitian black pearls.

August 25, 2014

Google Now stuns me,
sister's flight, when to leave home.
You're my new stalker.

August 24, 2014

Prepared for my walk,
in sunny summer weather-
a light blue hoodie.

August 23, 2014

Why is there chocolate
on my dress? I don't recall.
My dessert blackout.

August 22, 2014

Meow in the night,
wake me up. I can't sleep now.
While I work, you sleep.

August 21, 2014

Why are you afraid
of brooms, cat? They're relatives
of vacuum cleaners.

August 20, 2014

Indecision plagues
me late at night. Should I stay?
Or should I escape?

August 19, 2014

When I think of flights,
airport screening, I save my
Ziploc bags, stay home.

August 18, 2014

It's not warm enough
for a swim in the chill sea.
Temperate West Coast.

August 17, 2014

Vacation package,
why can't you have direct flights?
I've cabin fever.

August 16, 2014

No need to wear shorts,
it's a cloudy day again.
Fine West Coast summer.

August 15, 2014

My afternoon tea
has no scones or warm crumpets.
Hope cookies will do.

August 14, 2014

Elevenses with
you and the cat, cookies, tea.
A pleasant morning.

August 13, 2014

Gardenia stop
dropping your shiny green leaves.
You're not mine to kill.

August 12, 2014

Enjoying what I
throw out, pesky wee creatures.
Fruit fly compost raid.

August 11, 2014

Wandering through my
forest of dreams to surface.
Overslept again.

August 10, 2014

An historical
anachronism, cell phone,
Victorian tea.

August 9, 2014

A happy six years,
since you lifted my white veil
and stole my heart too.

August 8, 2014

I miss the dry heat,
glacial rivers in summer.
Cold feet and hot head.

August 7, 2014

Heavenly scented
lilies with roses, make my
thoughts drift off to dreams.

August 6, 2014

Lone gladiolus,
bright red, tall enough to shame
the other flowers.

August 5, 2014

Perfect summer day,
to take to the open road.
Drive towards my cares.

August 4, 2014

A day at the lake,
fills me with light reflections.
Sands of summer slip.

August 3 2014

Where are those eyes from?
Why don't I cook? Family
reunion answers.

August 2, 2014

At a family
reunion, I understand,
why I adore cats.

August 1, 2014

How the summer flies,
while we're distracted with plans.
Savour the moment.
