Examination

 

Need to book eye test;

wish they’d call it a check up

I don’t like failing.

Still raging

 

The angry young man

is healthy and vibrant in

this old man’s body.

Sandwiches

 

Summer in full swing;

office workers lunch in parks

and pigeons look on.

Fountain pen

 

As the cool ink flows

memories flood back of old

carved wooden school desks.

Deception

 

Paradise island

not all it appears to be;

no food, no nothing.

Sunbathing

 

Catching the last of

the afternoon sun, your games

for the day, over.

Relief

 

Cool damp air surrounds

my melancholic humor

offering relief.

 

by Scooj

Summer interrupted (for a day)

 

Let the sun shine in

or at least a cloudy sky;

break in dry weather.

Observation

 

You can’t hide from me

I have naturalist’s eyes

I see living things.
