Summer Poems and More 2026

filtered sunlight sets the stage
playful clouds multi-roling.
fresco performance

al fresco mono-drama, priceless. 
cloud watching
lazy afternoon, dancing characters
kids theater
Non-animation viewer, 
sped up to clip a crossing 
roadrunner.

Missed!

Must not have known-
the roadrunner always wins,
Beep, Beep ! 
clear as a bell
mallards three
no fish

Three mallards at the ocean edge.

nature's beauty
in plain sight
not hidden

simplistic beauty 
waiting to be seen 
modern blindness
eveningtide 
nighttime sky ascends
playtime
