Mr. Skeleton:
White flesh free fingers
Tearing through the soft brown dirt
Time for its revenge
Green Tears:
Mother Nature’s Bones
Exposed, beaten, and broken
by man’s pollution

Silent house, the world asleep
Chilly breeze through the open window
Trees limbs rustle, green leaves rattle
I journey back from vacation today
Back to the heat, humidity, summertime
But for a week I was here
Enjoying the cooling kiss of the mountaintop

I’m kind of an old dude, so this song has been running through my head for the last couple of days. It just pops in there when I look out at the hills in the distance.
Duck paddles and swims
Cuts sharp through the lily pads
Searching for some food

Damp blanket of mist
Fog pressed deep into the cracks
Cool wet mountain air
Floating on the breeze
Belly inches from the waves
Gracefully you soar
Trail on the water
White and brown feathers wiggle
Paddling to shore
Sleepy morning eyes
Catch the rays of the warm sun
Daytime is alive
Smoky wisps of mist
People ghostly as they move
Captured in a cloud
Horde:
A tossing of bread
Swarmed and surrounded quickly
Ducks and geese go wild
Sanctuary:
Shadowy and cool
Oasis from the hot sun
Escaping the heat
Water Line:
Son in his stroller
Tossing food into the lake
Ducks fight and scramble
My eyes wake to gloom
Damp green leaves out my window
Showers in the night
The first one: http://wp.me/p2kmxm-3l5
Rosy red sunset
Clouds awash in bright color
Beautiful day’s end

Really strange run tonight. I walked my normal half mile, and then I started to run. I thought I was never going to make it to the first mile. When I reached that mile, I stopped and walked for another half mile. Then I started up again, and folks, let me tell you. It felt wonderful to be running. Two miles in, and I had to force myself to stop. I just didn’t want to over do it. I walked another half mile, ran another half, and then came on home. Strange how it works out like that. Any runners out there who have gone through this before? Just curious.
Grey clouds hanging low
Rain drops pooling on the deck
Creating small lakes
Dull Pewter daylight
Morning trapped inside the gloom
Dark clouds full of rain
Soaring high above
On wings of mighty freedom
In the cloudless sky

What is it about yards? They just always have something that has to be done, especially in the summer.
So, here’s the loaded question, do you like yard work or not?
Me, I can’t stand it, but I do enough to keep the neighbors from hating me.
Morning song arrives
Wakes me with a peaceful ease
Bright and cheerful tune
Blue flash of bright light
A jagged lightning cracked strike
Thunder booms outside
Salt and pepper skies
Clear rain drops softly falling
Gentle early dawn
Pretty bird of day
Darkness is fast approaching
Time to hurry home
Dark overcast sky
Moisture heavy in the air
A fresh summer storm
A Poetry Journey
