scooping out green hats
atop juicy, red strawberries
luscious wave of summer joy

scooping out green hats
atop juicy, red strawberries
luscious wave of summer joy


remembering summers past
I wonder when cicadas
might begin their August songs



Going through old photos on my cell phone, I came across this image from my days of experimenting with collage & paint in the early days, weeks and months of the pandemic. I did this on grocery paper using a roller and gel pad. I had lots of fun making these abstract designs. My inner child reconstructing art class!
squabbling voices, repetitious & shrill
I yearn for the mourning dove’s coo
the click & clack of the industrious cicada

the beginning of the beginning
our setting sun nudges southward
hints of fall pierce the August heat
Chit Chat
