Tiger Riding for Beginners

Traveling Poet Philosopher & Occasional Wiseacre

it’s cool & rainy, 
 but the canopy is green:
  last days of summer.

late Summer: 
 the last days before 
  reed heads fluff.

spheres of fluff
 hold strong against a breeze...
  until they don't.

summer sun so bright
 the sunflowers take a break,
  & turn backs to light.

cool, idyllic day:
 summer rallies a last stand,
  before the Fall.

cattails, willows, &
 river: each has its own rhythm
  in a summer breeze.

gray-green waters
 shimmer in summer sun:
  leaves flutter onshore.

inert mosquito
 awaits the motive force  
  of summer sun.

dead-eyed crow,
 heat shimmers off rock...
  CAW!

Summer beach day;
 swollen clouds slog nearer:
  mass exodus.
