Cloudy

photo of the evening sky with wispy clouds and the smoke of a jet

Clouded with purpose;
swirling wisps of plane’s butt smoke,
summer’s warm night sky.

Glowing

Photo of the deep vibrant orange glow of the sunset behind big trees.

The horizon swells,
an orange in its belly;
setting summer sun.

Alive

Photo of the sun setting in the horizon.

Blues, pinks, oranges—
summertime sunset colours,
living canvas, sky.

Dozing

Photo of a black cat stretched out in the bed, sleeping.

It’s too hot to move,
summertime in the tropics—
dozing cat tells all.

Turn

The end approaches,
though spring blossoms cling to trees
seasons turn around.
