Mushrooms

 a cloud of yellow and orange shrooms.

lying down out back

and front and sides. 

Rod brought half a puff

Largest I've seen

They'll eat the other half

he says we'll see.

Bugs are plumb fat

 how many bites can we take?

their time has ended. 

the nagging monster biters quit biting

around here they left with the heat.

to the South i imagine, with insect full bellies.

a mass retreat from Ohio north.

what a relief.

we're glad their gone, of course.

Light cool October

 raindrops on the windows this morning

and a palmsize insect i think is a mantis.

the rest of the report is quiet ... wordless.

imagine not a whisper of a stir.
