august heat drags on–
brown eyed susans are mere ghosts

late summer’s palette
green is almost all used up–
plenty of purple
–photo by me

field of sunflowers
yellow periscopes pop up
looking for the sun
–photo by me

some swarms of insects
silently hang in the air–
like the ‘g’ in gnat
–photo by me

spring floods have ended–
now summer floods of sunshine
are upon the fields
–photo by me

pelicans are made
from the leaves and sticks and foam
of raging rivers
–photo by me

a canada goose
improvises a runway
to take to the skies
–photo by me

the flooded river
seems to erupt and explode
in the morning sun
–photo by me

ice tumbles downstream
in the dark river like spilled
whiskey on the rocks
–photo by me

huge, fighting eagles
may leave prized feathers behind
i’ll come back–later
