Last of the month, cat
sleeps away the morning- grey
skies mean closed green eyes.

August 30, 2015

Chilled morning, wet roads,
clouds, autumn premonition-
close eyes, eat peaches.

August 29, 2015

End of the month and
rainstorms rage, previews of fall-
goodbye summer sun.

August 28, 2015

Potted Bearss lime tree
drops its leaves in despair- my
care or nearing fall?

August 27, 2015

Anticipation
of a weekend of fun- chores
must be finished first.

August 26, 2015

Kitchen table's full,
juicy fruit to share- enjoy
summer while it lasts.

August 25, 2015

I bite into ripe
flesh, taste its summer sweetness-
August nectarines.

August 24, 2015

I lost my pillow,
to someone with four paws- no
heart to take it back.

August 23, 2015

Last week of August,
autumn approaches too quick-
jeans eagerly wait.

August 22, 2015

Like emeralds in
the summer sun, his eyes shine-
he still has cat breath.

August 21, 2015

Lap, lap, lap, lap, no,
not the sea, it's me, drinking
from the toilet. Cat!

August 20, 2015

Interruption of
morning nap by photos- cat
eyes me with disgust.

August 19, 2015

Hot summer night kept
me awake, bleary eyed I
grasp for words- haiku.

August 18, 2015

Persian carpet, patch
of sun, magnet for cat- sleep
away the morning.

August 17, 2015

Clear skies, hot sun, calm
day, my fur coat is hot- cat
snoozes in the shade.

August 16, 2015

Meowing-he wants out,
no he doesn't, he's staying-
cat indecision.

August 15, 2015

The kettle has stopped,
which tea will start my day right-
my first decision.

August 14, 2015

Dramatic clouds cloak
the summer sun- three crows caw
gleefully in gloom.

August 13, 2015

Swaddled in cashmere,
I wait for fall's arrival-
hot days, heavy heart.

August 12, 2015

Sunny window, clothes
from dryer, tuna- delight-
be more like a cat.

August 11, 2015

From explosion of
ideas to fizzled lines-
life of a writer.

August 10, 2015

Fresh laundered blankets
make the cat suspicious- where's
my fine scent, woman?

August 9, 2015

We don't need lucky
numbers to see us through- our
love will endure time.

August 8, 2015

Cloudy gloom rolls in,
darkening my summer mood-
prepare for autumn.

August 7, 2015

At the crack of dawn,
a volley of caws- the crows
have found their breakfast.

August 6, 2015

Cat peers through bushes,
nothing to hunt today- wise
choice to nap instead.

August 5, 2015

Procrastination
has left my fridge empty. Lime
with relish? No thanks.

August 4, 2015

Ideas swirl, my
concentration twirls- perhaps
I'll enjoy the sun.

August 3, 2015

No one understands,
save your platitudes- I'll walk
this dark path alone.

August 2, 2015

Sunday dilemma,
where to eat in this town- I'll
Google while you call.

August 1, 2015

Why've you come now? I
was enjoying summer- sun
filled days are numbered.
