Wonders of pollination / Bees buzzing to songs / Hummingbirds sing / In harmony / To the percussion / Of butterfly wings

The Black Skimmer working its way / close to shore — too close / for the Red Knots that arrived / last night from Argentina.

Juneteenth and Father’s Day
Third week of June
A double celebration
Of fathers we know
And those liberated

She would have remembered today’s blue sky / from summers at the Vineyard Sailing Camp / where she learned about tacking and heeling / and coming about on the calm or choppy / waters of the Lagoon.

The beach where shore and ocean meet / Horizon far too far to know / Page to turn, margin to mark / List that notes to-do and done / Evening news and how it’s spun.

The low profile of the mainland / Across Vineyard Sound / Swims into focus.

Just once each year / I can recapture something / Of childhood’s summer-scented magic.

This time of the year / Whispers in Santa’s ear / Elicit Ho, Ho, Hos / Smiles of children / Laughter of folklore.
