humming, whistling,
singing – I simply can’t not
be making music


08.30.2011
blissful slumber
rudely interrupted by
a pocket caller


08.29.2011
students invading,
the quiet campus bursting
with giddy laughter


08.28.2011
it’s yet another
John Grisham movie, so lame
and formulaic

massamam curry
coconut-y Thai goodness
makes my tummy glad

catastrophes averted
faculty wrangled

just another day
of multi-tasking glory
for SuperAdmin

feeling put-upon,
she sighs and pouts – the queen of
passive aggressive

08.21.2011
all my plans fell through.
left to my own devices,
a day of reading!

digging and lifting,
I root out the old hostas,
leave a blank canvas

the calls warm my heart
it’s lovely to be wanted,
sought out, and welcomed

I like my cool shades
I feel extra-hip in them
… like a cool hipster.

his prose like music
like a new ancient ballad
sung by silent tongues

08.14.2011
it’s mid-August and
summer is almost over
green corn moon rising


08.13.2011
the cool smell of rain
outside my window, thunder
rumbling softly

sky of screaming blue.
light so sharp it almost cuts.
hurts in a good way.

feeling down, forlorn,
blue, in a funk, dejected,
sad, dispirited

... but it will get better

crisp blue summer day
sweet and tart like an early
macintosh apple

bite into a bing
cherry – sweet, tart, and juicy
tastes like Door County

unexpected rain –
left my car windows open!!!
I hate a wet seat.

08.06.2011
drinks with an old friend
our easy conversation
flows like smooth whiskey

rooftop dining is
like al fresco taken to
another level

08.04.2011
soft sounds of fan blades
whirring, cicadas singing –
summer lullaby

it’s hard to accept --
tonight we bid 'fare well' to  
a beautiful soul.

terrible novel –
bad writing, lame characters,
yet I keep reading…

07.30.2011
an ankle on ice
is a small price to pay for
equestrian fun!
