Canoe, a small island off Denmark’s West coast.
Home to an international kite festival
and twenty thousand kites.
Chinese kites received a warm welcome.
People had color in the sky.
Entertainment and smiles abounded this weekend.
Sounds good to put on your calendar.
Kites galore, next year eh,
Full blown growing, you see green all the way down.
With clovers white dots spread through the lawn.
Don’t have to worry no light can shine in,
The bushes are too tall where the light’s been.
Yah yah a quarter.
dream it’s turned loose.
On downtown manana.
Flying free as a goose..
In a film i saw Cagney and Hope
knock ‘em down tap dancing.
i casually talked with Hope for fifteen or twenty minutes
and didn’t think to mention how hard they had worked..
that was a slip up.
I wanted to hear his comments.
Bed time I put on ear phones for my transistor radio.
The Guardians, formerly the Indians, were playing in San Diego.
A clean major league baseball field under lights - that’s beauty.
The first inning San Diego jumped in 4- 0.
No joy to start out.
I wasn’t going to listen to the whole game anyway.
Another day another game, Tom Hamilton, Cleveland’s play by play announcer, is a pleasure to hear.
The Guardians win will bring joy.
Summertime weather. Nothing like it.
Slow getting here this year.
This time of year is a perfect fit.
I know good times are near.
How about a marching band?
In line on the field playing their favorite tune.
Knowing their looking good
And having a powerful musical day.
Onion be gone, it’s breakfast time.
Dreamed in circles i did all night.
Peaceful on top of that.
Cloudy, warm and rabbits.
Getting to run same habits
On and over again.
Monotonous to an extent; without complaining.
Rigamarol is procedurally common place. Not out of place.
Those bunnies running circles have got me doing it.
I’ll pause to sharpen my blades to keep up with’em.
These words i sing.
God bless us everyone.
This June like years back
Is the time things grow.
This last a full night of storm struck.
I left the window open to a full rain fall.
Fields, animals and plants took it in.
A big drink for all my mother used to say.
Talk of drought has been slowed.
Plants will grow, and fields to be mowed.
i lost the final paragraph while i know i saved it. it has not happened for a while.
Jose hit three homers in the game.
Cheering for the fellow is deserved.
The stadium, for Guardians. Hurrah.
Rain today will break a long spell without.
We’ve NLB plus Little
that we look for daily.
They hang close by.
A sympathetic lawn and woods is why.
The neighborhood dogs stay away.
Our neighbors there deserve credit.
Thanks much folks for good work,
There, dog lovers, i said it.
the mystery of the whistles us so blatant
We can put thoughts about it
together with much difficulty.
Credit comes latent.
Outside my window I saw new little bunny.
nlb, it moved off to the side.
I couldn’t see where it went.
It moves so fast it’s mother looks pokey.
We saw big Little a few times.
She has nothing to do with nlb.
Nlb is out there with no friend.
We saw her check out a chipmunk and a cardinal.
Rabbits are solo creatures, but we want her to have a friend.
She’s learning life as we observe.
I hope she learns we’re standing by.
Ready to serve.
Looking ahead it’s children that are all we have.
Water, washing, meals,
Family, holidays, education.
These are a few of the important needs.
Doctors, medicine, traditions.
Books, examples to follow.
Goals, comfort.
A world of happiness.
Warm hearts, rhythm.
Calmness, music, dance.
Honesty, variety.
A dark sky with nighttime stars.
Looked and waited, today’s the day.
From your thumb to little finger,
That’s how long the small, white, hopper is.
One new package out with an adult.
Good form and poise.
Seems ready to rabitize, that’s what they do.
When they leave the nest
They’re ready to go solo.
Already it shows characteristics of mother Little‘s awareness.
Stay cautious Bunny.
Enjoy the good eating.
We don’t use lawn poisons.
Could have been the boat
The word caught up in my throat.
Dipping waves of honey.
Haven’t got the money to by a ticket back.
Honey I’m on the attack. I told you.
I ‘d spin around with you.
Buy another shoe to match what you wear.
I know that you don’t care, but I do.
It’s something neat I feel.
Yapping down the street is real
When honey, I move along with you,
You know I do. I surely do.
Come on, don’t creep me out
Or wear me out.
It’s all about
Going round with you.
Looking for my new pet
The crow will know me.
We’ll see what we can do for each other.
This will hold our attentions.
We’ll learn by cautious looking.
Can’t expect too much,
Only enough to earn our attentions.
Slowly we’ll begin,
First we’ll see if we ca find one another.
That is a giant step at the start.
Willing and able,
A lot on the table.
Dark left this morning, finally.
It lifted and there is light beneath.
Cloudy-grey, not bright and blue.
But quite light, better than dark night.
Quiet and still
Morning’s a thrill
Flat with no hills,
Dawn brings a chill.
Precious and pure,
Summer is sure
To be the cure
For what ails us.
Calling out June the new moon
arrives soon they say.
A new tune is going to play.
A good day right away.
I prey thee play.
Come what May.
We did that one already,
Hold on steady.
We’ve got Summer,
A first rate hummer.
We’ll see it through
with hugs to you.
Get in line, will you?
Four point six billion cups of coffee are drunk worldwide everyday,
How large are those cups?
how quickly are they put down?
How many cigarettes are smoked at the same time?
A video about Costa Rica had the coffee info.
It also had sloths climbing trees.
My friend Bill lives in Cost Rica.
He must be guilty of drinking coffee or climbing trees.
The weather and the coffee are good where he is.
All I can do is make a note
On June second the day i wrote.
Today will be in the upper eighties.
For my friends in Centidrade, that warm.
Note complete , Now I’ll have another coffee.
Hi to Bill and to the rest of you.
i have to guess the best time to go.
The stain on the drive was left by the worker’s truck.
We keep this place looking good.
Now she says the spot is a water stain.
I’m working quietly here, causing no damage.
When walking in the rain I’m dressed for it.
Later I’ll say “why didn’t I tell this or that.”
At least we usually have good weather.
running to the water’s edge
where bushes form a hedge.
cast away your hook
into the shimmering, babbling brook.
A tough day, remembering wars.
Celebrating those who perished.
Come on, humans, get along.
How could we have come up with wars?
If you need contests
Why not battle over cooking the best food
and playing the best music.
Take naps when you’re tired and look at the stars at night.
And sports and card games and bowling.
And walking and swimming contests.
Chess and baseball. Reading books.
Story telling and poetry. Easy does it.
It occurred what to note.
While dreaming under starlight.
The melody of an old tune I heard on the radio had a name.
I should have written it out.
So simple I though I would have remembered.
Another day, another hour.
It went up in a swirl of dream.
Was it one dream or many? I don’t remember.
Nevertheless I woke up empty minded.
The simple song had slipped by me.
You know I’ve done this before.
I think, but don’t remember.
Holiday weekend. Summer day
First, neighbor gee-gee walks by walking better.
Then a lawn care truck; always popular somewhere nearby.
No one else walking, only he-gee and a tall robin.
It’s still; more so since they tore down the mill.
I miss the train at the other place.
Where you’d hear the lonesome whistle blow.
Here at least robin has followed us over.
Now we make do without the lake.
It’s all give and rake.
I meant hive and take but with all these trees
There has to be a rake in it.
Kind principles lead well.
Keeping tuned and basic.
Skys blue are heavenly.
You lead, I’ll follow.
on the path through the woods
we will find our way.
Unleashing all we should
making this our day.
An hour drive distant.
Was only thirty minutes from Norwhere.
In Shelby we had breakfast.
Today the place was packed and noisy.
A whole lot of talking going on.
I asked Ali if rhe ceiling had been changed.
She said it was the same for eighty years.
I didn’t remember the place that noisy.
but didn’t tell her that.
M. Thought the portions were small
And the quality down.
I liked it all
Including shredded, fried potatoes.
together this morning preparing to leave.
Toby said bye on his way to the plant.
this has been a good chance to be here
a few days to get reacquainted .
it rained last night while I dreamed,
some time before this morning.
now the ground is wet yet quickly drying.
the sky is totally cloudy.
we spent good hours in California.
talked, ate, and watched baseball on TV.
got reacquainted with some Cleveland players.
weather here is so fine.
drove to the seaside.
refreshing to see the sea again.
boy it is packed.
still good to see.
We’ve had a swell time.
A fine margin of enjoyment.
If we asked around there’s be a large
consensus of practical agreement.
Good time went around.
we shared it.
Four and a half hours out from Temecula.
72 miles from the Mexican border.
Sunny and warm. Far off we could
see Snow on the mountains.
We got to Toby’s plant and he showed us around.
The operation is near completion.
Quite a well-made beautiful place.
He created an impressive plant.
All the California wonderful on a Saturday
That you need, see how it is.
Okay weekend for all.
Spin out a tail got goodness.
Had Mexican food last eve.
Four of six ordered number seven:
Chilirelleno and cheese enchilada
And a good time was had by all.
I’d take another whack to do better.
Good sun, good people,
Good days in C A.
Thanks to all.
Going to California
First stop is Texas.
Been here maybe five hours.
Sounds about right.
Some passengers left. Many remain.
No plane that functions. our first one
has a water problem
Not specified.
Arrived ca late and tired
Also early arrival and tired
Rock slept in comfort.
Am floating full of hereness.
How to sleep with practice.
When it is time wake and shower.
Night is wrapped, so are we and you where you are.
Gather for what’s to do.
Cleaned and packed, not for Rome.
This is California for which we’re bound.
Not driving the world,
Two flights in a day. A quick way.
I’ll read across, and recall friends.
They are my life and reasons for the west.
Over thirty years we had beginnings and ends.
No doubt about it, some moments were best.
What a big deal
my friend bill is in Costa Rica
he retired and lives there
we’re in touch.
he has invited me to visit.
he said he’d help coming and going.
what a beautiful jungle-laden place.
i’d be happy to look at it again.
good people, good food, good water.
a colorful dream.
sleep amid the calls of jungle creatures.
how afraid am i to leave the world i know?
give me a good load of stars at night.
