Nine Short Summer Poems

July 2, 2009

by Joan McNerney

Hallow mouth of the moon.
Clouds cross forming
an airy handkerchief.

Luncheon by the lake.
How lucky we are to have
such a large finger bowl.

Summer evening.
Sun and moon share the sky in
perfect symmetry.

Splash.
One word in
oceans of sound.

Who threw a ladle full
of moonbeams on my
celery green grass?

Inquisitive…
the gingersnap cat stares as
I get undressed.

Today’s work is done.
The sun fell from the sky
for a bowl of stars.

Black and white kitten
lying under clothesline in
soft circles of sleep.

Calculating….
a fish leaps to capture
bite of heaven.
