shadows lengthen
slowly into evening
summer solstice
Fine Dining
Form for All; The Clerihew at D’Verse Poets Pub
—
If dining with Andrew Zimmern
your stomach just might start to churn
he slurps fish lips from mugs
and eats pig ears,hoofs, and big bugs
Downtown Color
A little color in a struggling downtown in Western Pennsylvania.
No Lady
In the Garden today we are finding inspiration in a poem by Ellen Kort
—-
She’s No Lady –
she rudely pushed her
way into the room
uninvited
unwelcome
she claimed she had
an appointment – then
pointed a long bony finger at
the frail woman in the bed
and hissed, “you’re coming with me”
over our protests she snatched
up the woman, laughed coarsely
and they vanished

Self Reflection
gazing into the still lake
I see a stranger’s face
staring back –
distorted with worry
brows knotted
mouth a tight slash
and then
I trail my fingers through
the cool water
inhale deeply
and watch as ripples
sweep away my cares
allowing peace to
settle over me
calm
Carpe Diem #1051 Calm
~
after the rain
puddles left behind
undisturbed
fall
Carpe Diem Special #218 Dolores’ 2nd “dreaming of spring”
~
yellow school bus
rumbling down the street
small faces framed
behind the square windows
longing for summer days
blossom
Carpe Diem #1050 blossoms
love words blossom
as ink flows on the page
her pen scratches
History
“Hanna’s Town, founded in 1773 and named for its founder Robert Hanna, acted as the first Seat of Westmoreland County and hosted the first English courts west of the Allegheny Mountains. The town was an oasis for travelers, settlers, and those seeking justice and order in the often chaotic environment of the western Pennsylvania colonial frontier. ”
