Outside, a man on the one-wheel gyro
plays his guitar, the amplifier on his back
cranked up to something close to heaven
as he cruises city streets
Inside, a man hunches over the Grand,
communing quietly with chords, his fingers
gracing the keys, as the bass and drums
follow his musical lead

Windows, wide open;
the Spring morning has spoken -
this coolness won't last
for Algot
American Ash,
I know this can't last,
but you're such a burst
of white flower in bloom,
like the door's been opened
and these bees have wandered
into the room

Driving through Peru,
there's not much there
to see or to do, just rivers
and forests —more than a few
dirt roads, too — but if you travel
through, be sure to shout yoo-hoo
to the 800 plus hardy folk
living in these beautiful, isolated
Western Massachusetts woods,
no doubt happy to be off the grid
in such a mixed up world, too
for #OpenWrite
Percussive mallets
ring out against the dark night;
thunder among stars
The nest of chipmunks
starts at the hole in the ground,
then tunnels way down
Hidden beneath dirt,
the roots are a city in
communication
Each morning, as my brain kicks into gear,
I wait for the Daily Create to appear
I laugh in surprise
at what awaits my eyes
and then I make it — another day in the year

Banjos and guitars -
the porch pickers count it off,
descend into song
And then there was green:
Trees, lawns and the in-between
where small flowers bloom
