August Bliss
Summer in the City


An angel
watching over me

a glass of "Summer Spritzer"
sparkling in the dappled shade

birds singing
in the trees

a fountain ever in motion,
blithesome and cheery


coffee,
wrapping up
a summer meal

"ever in motion,
blithesome and cheery"
Quoted from the poem
"The Fountain"
by James Russell Lowell

  4. August blitz
    Is a spritz
    Of bird song,
    Not a spritz of bird poop
    Even if it's an omen
    Of blithesome, cheery
    good fortune...
