Nine Short Summer Poems

July 2, 2009 | in Poetry

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.
