Turning seasons

 

Finally on the ebb

Switching colors at last

The reason is the season

goin’ at last.

Missed, but I heard

 

A lot a thunder again last night

While I slept and missed it all.

I had hard dreams going on non stop.

Slip-sliding in and out of Storyland.

I’m 

Day after the night

 

More storm than we ever had.

Power went out at nine.

The bad weather hadn’t begun.

Distant Thunder rang all night.

Non-stop rumbles continued.

Couldn’t feel the direction.

The thumps were out there.

Sleep went through regardless.

By the dawn the rain had ended,

Rumbles continued.

There was no end to the storm,

Only a lessening on the distant booms.

Trump is

a bully and a coward.

And people will vote for him.

How much downpour can you take?

 

Not wisp of cloud yet heavy storms are on the way.

Here they are coming, piling in, grouping up.

Bringing dumping loads of water upon us.

Here heavy measurable will fall.

Bumping into each others

A clobbering of down-pouring.

Duck alert china ride

Ka-bunga. 

Blam dumps the drops.

POW-pow into drips and a fine mist.

Downfall, umbrellas out.

A pack of rain. No lie. No doubt.

New game around

 

Football season has begun,

Baseball is on the run.

Had to record Antique Roadshow,

Saw a quarter and went to bed.

Nighttime viewing gets too late.

A Sunday afternoon is enough for me.

They pay players millions

And want me to anti-up?

Could be a tough season.

Baseball gets blown away

Football is just a preview.

And I’m backing down.

New again

 

Rabbits have five litters per year

And more newbies are seen

Identify these around this morning 

Little and NewLittle were seen yesterday

This morn smaller unidentifides are out.

No one else, no birds etcetera.

Monday starting in no rain.

No cars, no walkers

You know how it goes.

The same.

Bunnies sit still in a pose, then are gone in a blink.

Off eating or napping.

mates

 

Didn’t get the count;

Different numbers came up.

Thirty or so of us got together,

sat and talked.

Wayne didn’t show.

The town is gone although 

the framework remains the same.

Darrel and Leslie were there.

Out in the field

Beyond the rows of corn

We we saw the red giant ball of sun go down.

Such a warm, beautiful evening.

More than a week

 

To go in August a warm season 

Pleasant ahead for sure.

Tajour soup like my dentist.

Tag it to the list of goodness ahead.

One creature in the entire woods.

Not a chip, a bird or squirrel 

Only Little our favorite rabbit

Hanging around out of habit.

Say hey so here we are you’re 

On the car, not too far away again.

Thump, thump the rabbit’s hopping.

Nothing stopping us today.

castles in the air

 

Carefully the fresh coffee is distributed into cups.

There are no cakes plural.

One flat cake has been cut into many pieces.

 i don’t need it but i’m eating it anyway.

The second half of August

some final warm summer days coming up.

We’ll take them then move into fall.

You know that’s all.

Large nimbus clouds and fallaway patches in blue.

What can you do?

Turn around season comes through.

What can you do?

Times wasting

Spinning wheels would be something to watch;

Otherwise other things get in the way.

Sent Auguri to Alex, Marina and Ermano an Chiara.

To my friends for Italy’s summer holiday.

This is a big one

like a birthday in importance.

Now I have to

Send a note to Giacomo.

Tween land

 

The heat escaped,

Slid out the weather door.

was fine while it lasted;

Don’t look for more

Now look for yellow,

A relinquish of the green.

As the temperatures mellow

And color changes the scene.

Are ya autumn on the way?

Dry as a cactus,

Colors come out some day,

Only need some practice.

On the button

 

Touches eight when I’m ready.

Brings Monday morning in steady.

Start us off in the new week

Warms the heart to hear floors creak.

Easy Jasper, reset the gong

 No time limit for our song.

Play on in the harness of light.

Then dance, dance til you’re out of sight.

Swirling path catches up

 

We have the way marked for clarity.

Bright sun beams light the path.

No walkers or vehicles,

one rabbit we call Little was here a while.

A motorcycle rumbled past.

The cliche cartoon sound of a large bike.

New Little sat out front

on the edge of the street.

hey, we want our bunnies to behave like people.

Okay, there I said it.

I’ll make flash cards and 

start reading lessons next week.

Couldn’t escape the storm

 

Seven seconds away from the flash.

The booms could knock ya.

I know the bunnies were out there.

They couldn’t have slept well.

I hope they hid near the house.

Dry places can be found.

Eat and sleep, 

That’s life in August.

 Big  little came in first.

Then new little showed.

Nine thirty

All is well

phena

 

With twenty years in Hawaii

Extended Family and community 

Thrown out by flash fire

No contact by wire

Dashed away. Thousands unacounted.

Speak to us, you can.

Present the story

To us far away.

We will hear you, Phena.

What do you feel?

Your voice is real

How are the people? What do you say?

Maui crisps

 

Homes, families moved out of place

As firestorms cross Maui

Making life difficult for all.

Major loss and disruption.

So hard the climate changes.

New developments occur on the globe.

Keep what we can stable, simple.

Cooperation can aid all.

More than we expect developes.

Keep neat and practice caution.

Help where you can.

Be prepared at all times.

Plane misbehavior

 

Hand cuffed for throwing things in the cabin.

I prefer not to be a passenger on that flight.

My days go easier, thank you.

I’ll have quiet coffee and a brioche.

That’s my seat, my ticket says.

I’ll sit there, thank you, and read.

Maybe planktown , Ted and ali

 

Getting ready.  Nearly set.

Was a while last time I bet.

Familiar faces over pancakes.

An hour from here about what it took.

Things were lining up again.

Filing days like I don’t know when.

The owner lady remembered us

The place was loud until one table left.

Next to us they were talking loud.

Hey, we made it.

More than ten years we’ve breakfasted there.

If we’re lucky we’ll do it again.

 

Woke up cloudy looking for deer

A car or two snapped by

Wasn’t sure, they went so fast.

Thought of counting and they were gone.

Just a blurs, didn’t take long.

Of deer there was no sign.

Nothing to see this time.

Why am I expecting any at all

Leaves are thick amid trees so tall.

Beyond the big heat

 

Now we adapt without fear.

White sky in clouds

Driveway is curing.

No one out after eight.

Clean and neat,

This day is slow,

A real treat 

There’s nowhere to go.

Take some time,

Walking slowly,

Keep in line,

Holy moly

Drink your tea

Slowly, reverently.

Wait for the world.

It will get here.

recoating asphalt

 

Two guys were putting more hot shiny

Black oil on the drive.

She watched out the windows,

“I want to do that,” She said.

I stayed away, didn’t even want to smell it.

I worried the bunnies would get it on their feet.

Keep away everyone.  It’s hopeless black gook.

You’re cooked if you’re near it.

This is a clean new driveway.

I’ll look at it, but I sure don’t want to smell it.

Makes me think about

Giving up coffee.

9:10

She’s out there with a chair.

The mailman doesn’t come for another hour,

But we have a good mailman 

and one who’ll walk right through it.

Okay, now so the workers were saying

They were up in Avon and put flags across the road

And people lift the flags and walk right across.

Parents and kids don’t pay attention.

Shawn the good mailman came

And he did well, stepped carefully.

Now we wait 24 hours and all will be well.

Asphalt Days are behind us.

City truck

 

A giant white with pipes hanging on.

Has the city label 

And workers in brightly

Shining safety vests

Iridescent green or orange.

Blocked the street then took off.

Quick and official 

Keep out of the way.

Heads up, hats on

Their working today

Clearing the roads,

Do what they say.

Crowded

 

More notices than I’ve time to read.

Could be a brighter day today.

Starting slower under high grey.

Smoke from Canada is what they say.

Two rabbits we only see from afar.

Our distant pets by chance

Because they never get too near.

how pets are when they’re wild animals.

They keep away because they’re prey

And to run aloof is their way.

We’re content they never roam,

They’re happy this yard is home.

We look for them every day.

And keeping away is good for all.

I know they know we watch them

 and have learned to live with wildlife.

Fine day of the week

 

Beyond the name is the function.

How well it’s constructed.

Here we are beginning.

Coffee me easy while I figure.

Labeled well and set

 Stream diagonally on the way.

Off to an Ohio landmark 

In good traveling weather. 

Some is history

Others are geography.

 They are mapped out and popular.

In the Buckeye State.

Coming through the wall

 

Halfway down the hall I ‘m dodging 

Them plastered on the wall

It’s early, too early to begin this way.

What do you say?

Sunshine, how are you?

We’re going to vote.

Simple, yet must be done.

Who’s packing the ballots?

Where are all the good guys?

Seems it should be obvious.

Even my coffee went Luke warm.

Whose side are we on?

A good drift of sunshine,

The temperature is somewhere in the middle.

Great to have such calming days.

Helps us all around.

All the rest have thirty-one

 

Tying it off.

Hi-Jack. hi-Jack sent me his book.

Like mine, history ran right over it.

Ernie did two takes on:

This minute in history is brought to to by Shell.

And he was so proud to get 6 hundred thousand dollars 

Then history ran right over it.

We never saw it coming. Any of us.

Hey, they got rid of slavery.

Got better dentists.

So now it’s sunshine 

And days in a month.

Raw grilled booms

 

Heavy thunder for two hours

While I slept and missed it.

Young bunny sat out this morning,

Must have wondered why it thundered.

What was going on?

Explosions in the sky.

Have to learn to read to understand?

Bunnies eat, sleep, run … and breed.

A lot of noise in a thunder rumble.

There is comfort when you’re wrapped in bed.

When you’re a year old wild rabbit

Living outside it may be tougher the first time.

Solid dream nearly

 

Kept me rolling all night okay

Without a pause in the chatter. It keeps rolling.

Poco summer flurries. Bushes turning.

maybe partially wind drivin’ I’d say.

Good glory to all.

I’ll greet you.

Hurrah. nice shoes.

Get along now. Keep moving.

Up with the morning sun.

Straight into work that’s begun.

After a morning coffee of course 

and toast while I’m at it.

Whip up to speed.

It’s what we need.

A lot of turmoil.

And mouths to feed.
