Sunset in Houston
Picnic on the Pedernales
Picnic on the Pedernales by my friend Darrell Williams. Posted with his permission.
Some poems provoke:
“Picnic on the Pedernales last eve;
Sunset infused with colors;
(Did it go around the earth’s bottom;
To be captured by camera this morning?}
Good night’s sleep, cat nearby;
Sudden burst aloud in laughter encountering a poem;
Now soft warm memories of a sunset evening in the canoe;
With Patricia.
Looks to be a nice day, today.”
Right On Time
Overslept
Long lines at the gas pump
Freight train stopped on the tracks
Empty slots on the grocery store shelves
A day of deep sighs
Teeth gnashing, nose crinkling
At dusk, I refill the hummingbird feeder
As it lurks on the fence
I turn to its chirps to explain my lateness
And realize I was wrong all along
The swirling, sherbet sunset awaits, as promised
The sunrise had greeted me and will do so again
The day was right on time
