A summer solstice in North America means high temperatures and humid days, flowers in bloom and a vegetable garden’s promise.
thunder storms
bright heat lightning strikes
greens rejoice

Baby’s first actions
Eyes squeezed shut against the noise
Finger grabbing fist
Suddenly mom’s voice is heard
A newborn discovery

Ornery kids hot and tired
Mom doesn’t lose her head
She chooses a better way
Her idea saves the day
Get out the sprinkler and the pool
An option keeping all heads cool.

Overhead fan humming
Barbie movie chosen
Cookie jar full of double stuffs
Rice pudding cups
Air popped corn
Smallest one fell into a nap
Crowding all in grandma’s bedroom
Picking prime viewing spot
Overflow on the carpet
No one minds we’ve seen it before
Missing those summer lemonade days.

I’m going to turn the tables on this prompt and name five things I do not like to be asked by a stranger. It doesn’t bother me now but when a young bride at many cocktail parties in the late 60s or 70s, I disliked it–partly of course because I never seemed to have the right answer.
1. Do you work?
2. What church do you belong to?
3. Do you have kids?
4. Where are you from?
5. You don’t want a drink – coffee? Tea?

The graduates were getting weary. It seemed the professor’s speech was an improper everlasting contrivance hoping to endow members of the business community to support the college. The electricity of the main event seemingly immune to the speaker, left the vast group of attendees without an impressive respect for the head of the university. After finally being allowed to receive their diplomas, the entire group need to be refreshed.

“Fetch me that script. Joe said there’s no neon lights for a production with the lacuna of at least a semi happy ending. Sure, we can give the audience chills when the murderer completes his act, but critics will give us the runaround without some sort of redemption in the end.”
