(until Fall’s time change
makes you sleep right through.)
This gorgeous Fall morn
I, at breakfast, stared at my
phone*, not life. Why? Fail!
OR
*screen
I hadn’t recalled/
seeing a sunbeam come up/
until this morning.
I might not have time/
to take a picture, but I/
can still wave “Thank you!”
She would send me photos/
of tall SoCal tropical trees/
silhouetted in the red sunset;/
dancing in the warm sea breeze.
As if to entice me/
to visit and to stay./
To warm my feet in the sand/
and watch the palm trees sway.
I returned the photo favor/
of a frigid, streaming sunrise:/
A frosted cottonwood silhouetted/
against cold blue mountain skies.
T’was not to tempt her, nor to say I was coldly sad,/
but to remind her to be grateful for the warm beauty she had.
When planets align,/
give in to the urge and drive/
top down, music up!
OR
When planets align,
it’s time to drive top down and/
your tunes cranked way up!
ORWhen the planets are/
aligned, you feel the urge to /
put down your rag top.
OR
When the planets are/
aligned, you feel the urge to /
drive top down, tunes up!
