Wishing You A Beautiful Day
August
August rushes by like desert rainfall,
A flood of frenzied upheaval, Expected,
But still catching me unprepared.
Like a matchflame
Bursting on the scene,
Heat and haze of crimson sunsets.
Like a dream
Of moon and dark barely recalled,
A moment,
Shadows caught in a blink.
Like a quick kiss;
One wishes for more
But it suddenly turns to leave,
Dragging summer away. _Elizabeth Maua Taylor

Your Good Morning post is so sweet!
To: jaycee
A very sweet little graphic of beautiful violets and cute poem...just plain nice. Thank you all.

Thank *you*, jaycee!
To: JustAmy
Those lilypads are so pretty. The little goldfish pond we had was too shallow to ‘plant’ any, so I bought some little artificial ones to float on top. No, they didn’t look real, but they were kinda pretty anyway - until they faded in our hot sun. :)

Thank you Billie, For introducing us to John B. Tabb. Here is another little poem he wrote:

Thanks, yorkie. I like the 'little' poems.
Short and sweet, he says it well. :)

That looks like me and my first grade boyfriend. :) We walked to school together every day. He was blonde and cute, too. :)

This poem played part in my childhood. A bunch of us kids would get together and head down the road to railroad tracks where blackberries grew unchallenged. On the way there was a parcel of land covered with Concord grapes where a house once stood and we'd grab a bunch on the way to but seldom pick them on the way back so as not to wash away the sweet taste of blackberries

When the blackberries hang swollen in the woods, in the brambles nobody owns, I spend
all day among the high branches, reaching my ripped arms, thinking
of nothing, cramming the black honey of summer into my mouth; all day my body
accepts what it is. In the dark creeks that run by there is this thick paw of my life darting among
the black bells, the leaves; there is this happy tongue.
