Children of summer yearn for Gemini moon.
To gaze at porcelain light beaming from high.
As twilight kisses stars in mild midnight June,

Grey robin, my morning alarmNigh early, a grey-throat on nearby bough
Perches on a branch swaying in the wind,
Moves to and fro, from inside to edge low,
To call her companion or just unwind.

Since things are not routine.

Cheery Gathering

Azure sky.
Barbie fired up
Soon the guests arrive
Bringing food and cold beer
Children play while adults chat
The steaks sizzling on the barbie.
Drinking and eating with much laughter
On this bright and warm August summer day....

Half-eaten by the winter mice in storage
