Rain's over

 Forecast everyday for weeks ahead.

Now it's said. You read it.

So will it come down hard and wet?

Don't forget. You read it.

I'd say before you know it'll turn to snow.

Good daughter

 she visited for a week;

we went to Pennsylvania.

hours on end meri drove us during a return of summer heat.

we had good talks and ate well.

saw many trees in Penn State.

haste

 to Pennsylvania in haste, we rolled along. enjoyed the views. air was good.

seemed like. We rode definitely raffic and

bunches of people were absorbing summer's end. good sense. 

sss

 

I didn't feel the possive apostrophe;

preferred to end quietly. 

Interruption in sleep

 At midnight I shouted the name Evelyn.  It seemed justified. I shouted loud and clearly and woke my wife. 

I've done this middle of the night shouting before, calling other words. I have never known someone by the name Evelyn or is a character named or mentioned in any of the books I am reading or have recently read named Evelyn. 

My wife had a difficult time falling back to sleep. I never woke up and have a vague memory of shouting.  My wife told me what I shouted.

Later this day my daughter heard the story and reminded me that on the menu the sandwich i ordered for lunch was called Eveylon 13 ... 13 dollars was the price.

Sailing into the night

 Will you look at that.

afternoon clouds shield the bright sun

floating west to a beautiful sundown.

I want to photograph this colorful picture.

God please give  patience 

and can you hurry the hell up.

Newbie

 The idea strikes me, and without a pen or paper.  I'll have to work this out. I want to put it down and not lose it.

 Meanwhile It took just a turn around and fell again. A lump on the head and a trip to the hospital. by 8:30 the day begins again at home. Somehow I hit my back; i didn't find that until later at home. All is okay by noon.

 Seems cool out. My daughter arrives late this afternoon.   Also i pickup a leg brace this afternoon.  Big doings for me in mid October. The lump on my head i feel is smaller. 

isn't this a joy to crawl inside my head.

don'r see why i said.

would prefer perfect words

to sustain poetry feelings.

Had a dream then woke

 Can't tell what kept me busy all night. I was dreaming. Now the regular daily doings will hold me.  Plus edible mushrooms growing all over. Rod brought another half mushroom  that is football size.  I liked the last one.

Day is half okay then will be warmer this afternoon. Summer lingers into fall.

D i do to warm

 They say , and they are who we listen too, It will not be colorful this year. i just said that and I don't know anything.  Not much color is what I see, or don't see currently. 

And today will be warm, 80 this afternoon. Haven't seen a rabbit for three days. A bird did swoop down yesterday, startled a rabbit as i was warching. The bunny left quickly for the bushes.

now,it seems we'll have a long autumn.

i notice the title of this open is inexplicable. if i knew i what i meant i'd  correct what i wrote. I wrote that to reassure you. What I wrote is like a comfort blanket.

Crepe

 There is a crack in my poetry packet. Quiet and beautiful this morning. An absolute careful beginning to this mid November.

When can it be put back together? We'll do what we can.

prepare for colder weather

can you draw the line

  the color of fall is decent.

the lake in cloudy shade, rain is recent.

  not asking for too much on  a quiet Thursday.

on a day in October it's turning colder

with more to come, we'll see.

 

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.

whisper to you during october

  

 straw and sticks, crackle in the field.

varied diamond shapes on a solid green.

   printed argyle on lawns and open fields.

the design  in this month of pumpkins on porches.

farm yards filling with orange and yellow spheres

prior to horse drawn wagons for hay rides.

 fine nighttime fields of play.

four deer hopping

 haven't seen them for 

more than a month. today they

 appear ... lean, strong, light beige. 

crossing the road a few houses over .

 

their area to roam near here is smaller.

no recent sign of them .

i keep watching.

everything changes it seems.

also; today is three 

months before Christmas. 

seasons fold under us.

The Point

 1956 or so i happened to see 

the remains of the last horse General

Custer's used in the 7th cavalry.

 It was mounted, stuffed and full 

of bullet and arrow holes 

from the battle at Little Big Horn.

i saw it on display at Ohio'sCedar Point Amusement Park.

from 1876 to 1956 - 80 years later.

it seems all wasn't so long ago.

Country store

there is a right way

and a better one.

when there is chocolate. 

why not get some.

Inspiration four

 Back from four days orbiting in space.

What a world, didn't you know.

Stay calm

enjoy the quiet, it fills open space. <

take the day as it comes, everywhere, every place.

you've things to do and time is right.

open your heart, enjoy ... that's your part to play

day and night.

Moving on

 September we are in.

Let's put us back together shall we?

"We must make lying wrong again"
