The Youth of 1000 Summers
Even though it's what Pooh-bear described as "blustery" -- coldish (not really cool) and rainy -- it's not too blustery to pretend it's summer.


It's not too early to wash the car in roller skates.


It's not too cold to hit the beach on the north shore at Northwestern U.


It's not too freezing to get your feet wet in the cold waves that traveled all the way from Michigan.



It's not too rainy to play baseball in the tennis courts.

A Mango Haiku for good measure:

It's time the mangos yellowed.
Summer light, old newsprint, reef-fish scales.
I don't miss my childhood.

It's way too cold to jump into that water! It's still too cold for leaves to have appeared on the trees. It's not 5-7-5 when its 7-9-6, it's not even symmetric.

Raining on Pohnpei
Heavy globose droplets fall
Wet children morning

Yeah I screwed that up. Should be:

The mangoes yellowed --
Summer light on old newsprint.
Childhood is over.

Now that is well done. For a fellow with the gift of writing, how come long time no blog?
