September 30, 2014

Summer, surely gone,
in favour of dewy morns.
I wrap my scarf tight.

September 29, 2014

It feels like autumn.
 I'm not ready to let go
of shorts and tank tops.

September 28, 2014

Cat relishes the
blanket's large, warm sunny spot-
perfect for cat bath's.

September 27, 2014

New scratching pad has
cat rolling round contented.
What's in that cardboard?

September 26, 2014

Loud road construction
sends cat running for cover.
Catnip is soothing.

September 25, 2014

Recent summer turns
suddenly to autumn chill-
coat closet opens.

September 24, 2014

Shy bromeliad
at last reveals scarlet heart.
The autumn skies weep.

September 23, 2014

A grocery shop
quickly steals the midmorning.
I love those Air Miles.

September 22, 2014

Facing months of work
on our road, I dream of farms,
without farm-work though.

September 21, 2014

Summer ushers in
autumn with last golden warmth.
Leaves shudder with fear.

September 20, 2014

A blaze of red, my
wool coat's triumphant return.
A dry cleaner's dream.

September 19, 2014

Clunking, rolling eggs,
madly boiling in the pot .
Lunch cackleberries.

September 18, 2014

A fog over the
ocean and my cup of tea,
autumn converges.

September 17, 2014

Minutes ticking down
till I have my morning tea.
With that my day starts.

September 16, 2014

Telephone tag with
people across the country-
a frustrating game.

September 15, 2014

Racing mind, awake,
ideas trying to talk.
Next morning I'm tired.

September 14, 2014

Waiting for my drive
to return, sweeping me up.
Endless hours of words.

September 13, 2014

Still we cough, blow our
noses, from this rotten cold.
Vegas souvenir.

September 12, 2014

May the summer stretch
right into October. Will
it light the grey days?

September 11, 2014

No pancakes for me,
not even a protein shake.
Fasting blood test blues.

September 10, 2014

I crave certainty,
but not like death and taxes.
I prefer dessert.

September 9, 2014

I tire of you, cold.
Your unwelcome visits bring
sore throats, congestion.

September 8, 2014

"Joys" of returning
home, chores, chores, no room service.
Comfort, loving cat.

September 7, 2014

Autumn inches close.
Promises of chestnuts, walks
in crisp leaves, wool coats.

September 6, 2014

I'd rather not have
this souvenir to take home-
ghastly summer cold.

September 5, 2014

Open suitcases
strewn across the house. Dirty
laundry mementos.

September 4, 2014

Surprised by summer
cold this morning. Time for home.
I need R & R.

September 3, 2014

Vegas time ending,
time to soak up last of sun.
Foxtails before noon.

September 2, 2014

A desert glow of
the sun on the hills around
Vegas, on my face.

September 1, 2014

Up too late again,
make reservations past eight.
The Vegas lifestyle.
