Dirty Sunset
Smoky sky
too thick to breathe
tasting ash
creates unease.
Sunset comes
a ball of red.
Bet’cher glad now
for the mask on your head.
The wildfire smoke has officially arrived. Stay safe everyone.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – The Last Dandelion
Pull (at least) three cards use them as the foundation to tell us about a natural and/or fictional creature’s greeting of the Fall season.
The Bloom – When the season first changed (Death), I felt like I was on top of the world (The Emperor) and all of my usual uncertainties (The Moon) and inhibitions were set aside for the enjoyment of the new season (The Fool).
The Tuft – But soon my inner dialogue started coming in and nitpicking at every little silly thing I was doing (Judgement) and telling me that I had to make a choice for a more responsible path (The Lovers).
The Seeding – I did what it said and I threw away my joyous celebration of the season in the process (The Chariot).
The Empty Bud – Now I feel like I fucked up (The Tower). I need to retreat and reevaluate (The Hermit) and delve deep into my own inner secrets of why I did what I did (The High Priestess). Hopefully my progeny will do it better and differently (Wheel of Fortune).

Too Pretty To Be So Hot
Lazy clouds
in cool blue sky
beauty bounds
as they march by
little ripples
on the lake
how is it so damned hot
when will
the heat wave break?

Radiance
Clashing colors
attract the eye
in a cacophony
of hues
that don’t match
and yet
draw you in
all the same.
Is this what bees feel like?

Don’t Fall Through
White fluff
and light
creates
an ocean of clouds
stretching out
to a blue horizon.
A sea of
cotton softness
inviting
sweet sleep.

Shades of Summer
Vibrant colors
splashed with light
summer’s bounty
shining bright
purples sway
and green abounds
filling senses
with buzzing sounds.
The bees are heavy this year. I visit this park often in the summer because they have the most beautiful lavender beds and a public garden that, even with social distancing measures, still thrives and is well tended.
