Haiku for summer

tea with a friend

the gray afternoon brightens

with Zoom

last book read

I fill a notebook

with doodles

constant motion

along the avenue—

another page turned

       A SATURDAY AFTERNOON      

      

Sitting in the patio I watch a chipmunk explore the potted geraniums then move on, disappearing back into the growth of weeds and trees beyond the bricks. He reappears on the mowed grass, scurrying one way, then another, as if undecided.

                                                            quietly alone–

                                                            bird calls for company

                                                            and a soft breeze

                                                                  tomorrow will sort itself

                                                                   but now, this time is mine

On Being Wise  

At my age I should know a few things. I do, but not enough to always be wise or to be certain. There are still choices to be made, pros and cons to be weighed, adjustment to and acceptance of whichever choice is made. Life is still a learning process.

                                                     one bloom at a time
