Saturday, thinking about August

Monday I should send off my first Postcards with poetry. So today I’m thinking about whether my month will have any theme and what should guide my hand to one sort of postcard or another. I hope they make people smile on both sides of the card.

Today I remembered to bring the lunch I forgot yesterday. Luckily it was sturdy stuff – cheese and crackers and some fruit and some boiled potatoes. There were some cucumbers in there before the photo, lol.

Here’s some lunchtime haiku:

roadside with loosestrife
queen anne’s lace and chicory
grateful for stopping

this morning’s sky: blue
with strips of clouds
frayed at the edges

today’s simple lunch:
cheese and crackers and cherries
black berries and cukes

when the traffic stopped,
there, in the ditch forgotten:
loosestrife and daisies.
