Stray reaches out

contact is made

A wounded stray appeared

Gumpy's replacement

Not sure what ails this

lovely Lynx PointSiamese

head always a-tilt as if inquiring

We don't know what happened

but we'll see it through

gaining her trust~kind words, furtive touches

Rescue Remedy in every meal

today she emerged briefly out of hiding

explored~looked at the fish

then fled, back to her hidey hole

she sees the bowls in my hand

gives a faint meow~ first words

nose pokes out, she peers up, head a-tilt

scanning for danger~then slowly

approaching the dishes, watching me

gulping her food~ slurping the milk

Ming-Ming will be her name

we'll keep her because few

want damaged goods so she'll

be ours~ filling an empty space

I guess Gumpy must have send her

knowing she'll be in good hands here..

It's barely June

already we feel Summer's hot breath

Celestial dragon exhaling

scorching Spring's green

leaving rosebuds crisp

never to unfold and delight

Yet we count our blessings

we do not have to watch the sky

for tornadoes bringing death

nor floods washing us and ours away

our enemy is Fire Dragon

one careless spark is all it takes

Gilded morning sunlight

spills into the canyon

birdsong fills the air

June 4th, 2013

Blue~eyed

Silky head~butts

delighted twitchy tail

Ming~Ming's warm morning greeting

Silvery spheres

alive with bees
onions gone to seed

June 6^th, 2013

Blackbirds flying by the hundreds

First appearing like wisps of smoke

then turning~transforming

into a black lace mantilla

undulating in a pale blue sky

Six Word Saturday

Merciless sun

bakes everything

beneath it

Stone #2

SUN ~ giver of life and light

today turned vengeful golden goddess

we bow to her power and shield our eyes

against her savage rays~yearning for sunset

June 9th, 2013

This morning

a paler, kinder sun rises

cool air greets us

we breathe deeply

Day Lily opens

her golden heart joyfully

Minimal Monday

Golden heart

we smile
