I Brushed Last Night’s Wind Dust From the Cover
and Found This in the Binding

Orange butterflies and yellow birds
Cupplants waiting for rain
The neighbors organ reminding of other warm Sundays and wondrous grandparents
The not-so-bright kid from the yellow house careening down the street
Another brighter one cruising by silently
Late church bells tolling beyond muted hymned voices and my cat’s plea

Krawdad, the title alone is a poem...
so I enjoyed the two for one.

Thank you!

this is kind of an eerie, lonely-feeling poem

and that makes me wish I could have been there...

but it would have ruined the moment, I suppose

Sunshine,
Hint: When you have a line that doesn't quite fit with the rest . . . try it as the title.
Glad you liked.

Patricia,
Pleased that you are pleased.

Dixie,
Just a morning porch-moment and you would have been welcome to enjoy it too.

Sey,
Thanks, I think.

Ethel,
Thank you.
Actually, I do catch myself doing that now and then. (I don't think they notice.)

h,
such flattery . . .

I enjoyed this ponderous moment. I saw it through a window when I read it, but front porch works well, too. It's cool. ~K~
