Monday Weather

High
Winds
Blowing
A
Hole
In
The
Sky,
Spinning
Papers
By,
Song
Birds
Unable
To
Fly.
Then
Raindrops
Pelting,
Melting
Dust
To
A
Circular 
Crust
On
My
Car,
Like
Desert
Scars.

Writing
Of
London
Today,
Since
Things
Are
Bad
In 
The 
USA.
Politics
Are
In
Such
A
State,
I need
To
Mentally
Emigrate,
And
Breathe
The
Air
Of
1817
Mayfair.
You
Know
What
I mean,
Create
A
Past
That’s
Ever
Green.
I’ll
Give
It
A
Try,
And
Just
Say
Good
Bye.

Echo
 
Read
Aloud
In
A
Quiet
Place
And
See
If
You
Can
Find
A
Space
Between
The
Words
For
The
Other
Voice
Once
Heard,
The
One
For
Which
You
Long,
Hidden
In
A
Song.

Hello Again

Just
When
I fear
My
Brain
Has
Gone
Dry
And
I’ve
Nothing
Left
To
Try,
By
Glory,
I begin
Another
Story.
How 
To
Explain
This
Proclivity
Toward
Creativity?
I’m
Guessing
It’s
Some
Kind
Of
Boon,
A
Remembered
Tune,
A
Refrain
I retain
From
Long
Ago,
That
I am
Blessed
To
Know.

Waiting

The
Morning
Glory
Vine
Twines
And
Trails
Over
The
Porch
Rails,
Reaching
Like
A
Lover
For
Any
Surface
It
Can
Cover,
But
Blooms
Not,
Since
It’s
Too
Hot.
It
Hesitates 
And 
Waits,
Until 
The
Sun
Looks
Away,
Then
Will
Flower
Every
Day,
And
Grow
In
A
Heavenly 
Blue
Glow.

Hmmm.
 
Watercolor
Sky
For
Friday, 
Nothing
Much
To
Say.
Government
In
A
Roil,
Politics
On
The
Boil,
Facebook
A
Tumult
Of
Comment
Insult.
Tempted
To
Just
Turn
Away
Until
Some
Better
Day,
And
With
A
Sigh,
Let
The
World
Go
By.

Watching
The
News
Gives
Me
A
Mental
Bruise.
The
President
Is 
An
International
Prick
And
His
Supporters
Are
Deathly
Sick.
The
Ruskies
Are
After
Us
Like
Rabid
Huskies,
And
All
The
Republicans
Do
Is
Gloat
Over
Our
Sinking
Boat.
Dear
Hearts,
Get
Out
When
You
Can,
And
Vote.
Protest,
And
Cause
Some
Aggravation,
Or
Soon,
We
Won’t
Have
A
Nation.

*Clive Uptton* The Sower Of The Seed
Sower

The
Sprinklers
Are
Running
Again,
Costly
Upside
Down
Rain.
Coaxing
The
Desert
Grass
To
Grow,
Which
Is
Mighty
Slow
To
Push
Up
A
Fresh
Blade
Or
Two,
As
Grass
Is
Supposed
To
Do.
I give
It
What
It
Needs,
Fertilizer
And
Expensive
Seeds,
But
It
Either
Turns
Brown
Or
Stays
Right
In
The
Ground.
Still,
I water
The
Pesky
Stuff,
Though
Its
Obviously
Not
Enough.

The
Road
Runner
Comes
Early
In
The
Day,
Seeking
Its
Prey.
Namely
The
Dove,
Symbol
Of
Love,
Which
Stands
In
Place,
A
Vacant
Look
Its
Face.
The
Predator
Comes
Around
A
Bush,
Moving
Fast,
Takes
A
Big
Push,
And
Anxious
To
Help,
I yelp.
At
The
Last
Second,
The
Dove
Jumps,
Wings
Pump
And
Up
It
Flies.
The
Road
Runner
Stares
With
Beady
Eyes,
Then
Trots
Away,
A
Little
Miracle
For
Saturday.

Monsoon Thursday

The
Desert
Sky
Today
Is
Swept
In
Folds
Of
Gray.
Over
Night,
As
I slept,
The
Trees
Wept,
And
Moisture
Lingers
In
The
Air,
Touching
The
Grasses
In
Damp
Fingers
When
The
Breeze
Passes.
