Cool Day's Release

Sky is gray

But, no rain

Sit on deck

Tensions drain


Summer's heat

Is on break

Cool breeze flows

Let thoughts snake


Chipmunks dart

Through brush pile

Flashing stripes

Make me smile


Garbage truck

Rattles round

Soon truck leaves

Empty sound


Then hear jet

High in sky

Muffled roar

Soon will die


Crickets sing

After noon

Chickadee

Chirps short tune


As day wanes

Hum of tires

Engine thrum

Peace expires


Workday ends

Folks rush home

To retreat

In their dome


Night, rain comes

Soaks dark ground

And at dawn

My feet bound


Sit on deck

Thoughts release

At sunrise

Soak up peace
