Same trees, same birdsong,
Daylight fades, earlier now…
My leaves…dripping pink.Won’t be long until
Coffee warms me on the porch,
Blanket ‘round my knees.Turning of the year,

Cinnamon perfume.
SUMMER GONE
Laughter and joyous shrieks
~Sally Kirkpatrick, artist, writer, crafter
Have left the lake at peace
Softly lapping edges see only
The old or very young
School bells ring where laughter
Joyous screams have moved
Onto the school play yard
Recess the favorite still
Sunshine spills through covered windows
Cracks where eyes seek light
Tucked away in classroom chairs
Summer sun still clings
Suntanned faces renewed fr
Minds tug back to summer days
What I did this summer

Tourists leave
behind beach
sand and surf
Seagulls squawk
for one more
stolen fry.
