In noonday sun, parched,
sweaty, I gaze out at view-
reward for the climb.

August 14, 2016

Meditating in
first sun, whiskered Zen master-

the wise learn from cats.

August 12, 2016

I seek forgiveness,
for vacationing without
you- cat glares at me.

August 11, 2016

Jet lagged, I scramble
to reach normalcy- laundry
to wash, tea to drink.

August 7, 2016

Aimlessly we stroll
narrow streets, gargoyles watch with
stony silence- Spain.

August 6, 2016

Silk scarf flutters in
Monaco's fair breeze- I gaze
out over the sea.

August 5, 2016

Ancient ruins show us
how little we've changed- strolling
through Pompeii's remains.

August 3, 2016

Floating at sea in
a small marine city- ship's
deck becomes our beach.

August 1, 2016

A beat so deep it
shakes us- Ibiza concert
blows us all away.

July 31, 2016

Take me away to
lands of sand and sea- summer
is waiting out there.

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 21, 2016

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