Breakfast with my aunts
at the Queen Diner — decade-
long tradition. Nice.

Sat in the diner
and watched windmill legs go past
on huge flatbed trucks.

Dog yearns for tele-
kinetic powers — must make
ball move across floor.

Dog lies on the couch –
head down, chin on paws, he stares
at a tennis ball.

Weather-changing day –
anticipation of storms
keeps me in the house.

Leaves litter the lawn
in preparation for fall.
Waiting for color.

Soccer this morning –
this time fields of little kids
running and kicking.

Frost on the pumpkin?
Not quite. Another morning
to enjoy flowers.

Bright, blue, and brilliant.
Enough cool for a sweater.
Sky and air beckon.

Tick-tock. Deadline’s near
and the piece sits in my mind.
(That’s not good, I think.)
