Lighted windows
Bright in the night
Delightfully
Inviting
Prying eyes.

Filligree trees
Lace against blue
Star spangled
Backdrop
for theatre.

Blue distant sax
sweet wailing
draws me in
Eyes

Silver screen

Killing looks good
Bang, you're dumb.

Sunday solstice
simmering solitude
sweet swaying
summer suns
someone shines.

two bells tolled
down a country road
driver never sleeps.

 

[Guest]

Figures in the mist
Sun like moon
coldly filtered out.

Shots fired
Geese cooked
Christmas dinner
on the wing.

Sunday papers never get
completely read.
wasted words.
recycled thoughts.
