Oh oh! someone has been rummaging through
her mummy's cosmetic purse; anyone notice
Zee's wearing lipstick

temporary aloof whole



obedient to the sway of morning those dawn birds chipper at chirping

first a morning prayer raspy voice of a grackle on awakening

caught in somber thoughts each day break a call to amazement of light

JUNE JULY GRAFFITI

June to July months -
looking back moving forward
a sandwich filling

too soon much too soon
one day at a time applies -
yearnings for Christmas

caught in the middle?
there is no space in between
June and July months

one banana sliced into eleven pieces



banana peel -
where the road curves
a pile of garbage
© gillena cox

Whats this all about??? okay; i've eaten one sliced banana for the morning, planning on a more sturdy breakfast after i post; no i did not litter, threw my peel in the kitchen garbage; Whats this about garbage? i can see the pile of bagged garbage in the street, the garbage collectors pick up the bags most time in the wee hours of dawn and sometimes later in the mornings.
#Banana peel #garbage - inspiration for my digital art and haiku today.

a verdant drive through
from the side of the mountain
water tricking down

near a lagoon vendors ply
their sugar cakes and fudge -
wide toothy smiles

first view of the beach
smell of the salty sea
draws me closer
