Over edge, water
washes away stress, I float-
infinity pool.

July 29, 2016

Less leg room, but you
give me strudel in the air-
I'll forgive this once.

July 28, 2016

We share umbrella,
as rain dances on canals-
kiss me in Holland.

July 27, 2016

The rain pelts, but I
must stop, greet you- marmalade
tabby weaves 'round me.

July 26, 2016

If you can't handle
me, I'll just leave- won't hide my
true self in darkness.

July 25, 2016

We made George dance when
we were children- 'twas true back
in Steen's time also.

July 24, 2016

Houses much older,
than our country- our young minds
can't compute their age.

July 23, 2016

Sweat rolls down our backs,
we climb narrow stairs- view greets
us, canal lined roofs.

July 22, 2016

Sunlight in paintings,
dancing houses on canals-
Amsterdam moves us.

July 21, 2016

We stroll Vondelpark,
strange bird calls greet us- bikes whiz
past, lost in distance.

July 20, 2016

A while before I'll
see you again- absence makes
the heart grow fonder.

July 19, 2016

Remember that look
I gave you when you left on
your trip? Feel guilty.

July 18, 2016

I see suitcases,
piles, frenzied activity-
you're leaving again.

July 17, 2016

Forget your chores, lists,
errands- let's spend this Sunday
relaxing in sun.

July 16, 2016

In any garden,
I wouldn't find a rose sweet
as you-you're my love.

July 15, 2016

Gathering storm makes
us run for shelter- warm rain,
thunder, lightning, home.

July 14, 2016

Setting sun breaks through
looming clouds- will tomorrow
bring rain or sunshine?

July 13, 2016

Meadow garden, wild
with summer joy, reach for sun-
fall's fate awaits you.

July 12, 2016

Orange-gold sunset
dazzles, rays reach far, corners
of world bask- night falls.

July 11, 2016

Meadow of flowers,
butterflies and bees frolic-
I lie on the grass.

July 10, 2016

Vast valley meets the
sweeping sky- I stand amid
beauty, mute, humbled.

July 9, 2016

Mountains shrouded in
fog, rain, bare feet in puddles-
summer hides in clouds.

July 8, 2016

Whoever thought of
work week was a sadist- I
need longer weekends.

July 7, 2016

Grumpy? That's quite a
subjective judgment- I've lived
with you too long, crab.

July 6, 2016

Mountain air, lungs scream,
reward at summit- my eyes
drink view greedily.

July 5, 2016

I need blinding sun
to thaw winter from my heart-
summer creeps through me.

July 4, 2016

Can't see the forest
for the trees- time for me to
escape the city.

July 3, 2016

Human, you won't feed
me treats all hours, nor tuna-
kiss my hind paw, fool.

July 2, 2016

Can already see
autumn- she's lurking around
every corner.

July 1, 2016

Nothing, no one keeps
us down long. Together we
fete- Canada Day.
