216 days until christmas

(time zone results may vary)

a "good morning" accident the "joy to the world" coffee mug unscathed

growing older I see my quotation marks repeat themselves

middle east cease fire the smaller birds chase the hawk away

trump de fleur in the legal woes he planted

may be cloudy more than rainy

saturday's garage sale sunday's news

uneven sidewalk a sparrow pecks at a ritz cracker

pond sunrise the wisps of fog forgotten

fallen deer long after the pond ice is gone

a full moon lightly circling the pond's stillness

watercolor artist the pond painting the sunrise

october drought I live by the sky that shrinks with the pond

late september the pond slows down to a heron's watch

the onset of fall crossing the pond in a boatful of leaves
