Afternoon of July 11, 2023

junk mail

pigeon droppings

on the mailbox

~Sharon Ferrante

opening a can of soup I process my life

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

accepting denial

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

whispered wind

promises of a cool breeze

but only hot air

~Julie A. Dickson

We are all just

Making it up as we go

(In case no one told you)

~Jennifer Gurney

What sadist invented

Metal slides to sit in the sun

Waiting for bare legs
