la pluie verse l’énergie
terre sirote avec semence
moisson un jour
rain cascades life
earth sips for the seedlings
harvest one day.

Poetry ~ Waka

Dawn breathes good morning
the robin spreads its wings
breakfast is the worm

l’aube respire bon matin
l’hirondelle étend ses ailes
brunch au petit ver

Vent doux caressant
corps brulant et bronzé
fraicheur délassée

Brunante paisible
brise venant de l’océan
somnifère d’été

Lazy sunny day
sunbathing by the river
drinking lemonade.
*
paddle boats sculling
kids wading in the river
splashing, gurgling.
*
bullfrogs, motor boats
transistor radios
echoes of laughter.
*
scorching summer night
sitting on the balcony
hear the crickets sing.
*
sitting on the balcony
untying her kimono
gentle breeze caress
*
summers may promise
moments of delight and bliss,
desires quenched.

Photo taken by my family home growing up where there were row boats, paddle boats and motor boats as part of the scenery all summer long.

Soleil doré
rayonne le ciel bleu
nuages taquinent
golden glow
enhance a blue sky
teasing clouds.

Parc de la Chute-Montmorency (Falls) Beauport, Québec
Chute versant sa gloire
émerveille tous les touristes
venant de loin.

Falls spill their glory
tourists gather to marvel
all from far away.

Inhaling
nature, green beckons
childish fun.

Clicking on the menu
to start a new contact,
the story will ensue
we form a first contract
I listen and care too,
sometimes it gets sad
need to find a bit of glad
to maintain my strength,
then, my heart fills
with feel-good thrills…
soak up a fond venue
screen portrays this view…
Two soul sisters
in more ways than one,
resting on the stairs
soaking up the sun;
just seconds before,
they make a dash for
a game of
Tag! you`re It!
and Catch me if you Can!
a little friendly wrestle
growling in their
rounds of muscle
all in sisterly
canine fun.

Submitted for: PookyPoetry Prompt #30 – Screensaver. I often alternate with a screensaver at work from family photos of my mom and me, my grandson, my children, lovely street photos I took or loving pets. These are two sisters my son owns, taken on the back steps of his Rougemont home. I call these split second escapes when counselling on the phone to maintain a strong, comforting and engaging stance.
