#Haiku: Ice Cold Beer
Chilled icy bottles
garage doors up, fans on high
beer joints in Texas

Author’s Note: Having been born and raised in Houston, Texas, Shiner Bock was my favorite beer. In 1994 I moved to Philadelphia and there was not a Shiner in sight. I met my future husband in Philly, and he asked me to marry him. I told him you find me a Shiner Bock in this state, and you have a deal. Lo and behold, he found 5 bottles of Shiner Bock at the Balligomingo Inn in West Conshohocken. So I married him, and that was almost 23 years ago come this September!

Without a Prayer
“Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither god nor poet; one need only own a shovel.”
― Aldo Leopold
Did you hear zephyr talking to the trees
swirling all around, never touching ground?
As it whispered to the exquisite leaves
Wind marveled at their roots, being earthbound
Limbs answered the wind with words to astound
We are the givers of life here on earth
For without us, there would have been no birth
Of every creature who breathes your sweet air
So do you now see our value and worth
For without us the world hasn’t a prayer.

#Tanka: Searing Summer
Whispering shallows
entice me to shed my clothes
searing summer heat
slipping into cool waters
brush of your hand on my skin

All That Remains
All that remains is the sweet perfume of rose
Before delicate pink petals withered and fell
Upon my barren heart the blossom imposed
An attar of remembrance cloaked in your smell
Before delicate pink petals withered and fell
The scent was a delightful enchantment to me
Now in its cherished fragrance I’ll forever dwell
For the enduring aroma reminds me of thee
The scent was a delightful enchantment to me
An aromatic bouquet complex yet smooth
For the enduring aroma reminds me of thee
So my lonely soul is now at rest and soothed
An aromatic bouquet complex yet smooth
Upon my barren heart the blossom imposed
So my lonely soul is now at rest and soothed
And all that remains is the sweet perfume of rose

The Wish
“Are you sure about this, Beau?”
“Yes.”
“Once you sign, the change is immediate, and there is no going back.”
“I understand completely.”
He signs his name, and in a burst of light, there is nothing on the table but a watch and gold ring.
A dog sat in the chair.
“Beau, is that you?”

Blue Twilight
Blue
twilight
drifting in
on evening breeze
welcoming day’s end
lush scent of greenery
surrounds the welcoming porch
a place to pause, a chair to rest
gather the day’s worries, toss them to
the wind, sip a glass of red wine and dream.
