Ladonia Night

under a moonless august sky
cranky crickets and desultory dogs
exchange repeated greetings
traffic from the unseen highway
adds an urgent undertone
of miles to go before sleep
fitfully a breeze eases past
cool currents of air
promising the summer’s heat
will one day end

Ah. That poem ends with a nice sigh. I really liked this one. The pace is nice. I like the idea that the heat WILL end one day, as I drive around without AC.

I'm glad to see you are still writing away.

Thanks for continuing to share them too:)
