FAR FROM A SONNET

It seems like forever since I’ve posted here

And taking a break has its advantages

Like crossing off things on the to do list

Events that run into Memorial Day Weekend

And now, hot humid sticky weather

After those scary tornados on Wednesday evening

EXHALE…

The air conditioner is on for three hours already

Outside, the cottonwood has been blowing around again

It seems that my rhythm is off still catching up to May’s runaround

Which leads me back to writing and I think this is good practice

But getting back into the swing of things isn’t as easy as it seems

Fourteen lines, so far from a sonnet and I'm much closer

To the iced tea waiting in the kitchen
