We have, for some years now, a rock festival. It’s placed at end of the summer in August.
The first morning the big tent was up, the swallows occupied the rope. Well it’s about this time they gather for the trip south so …

We call it Sensommer Rock - late summer Rock – hence the reference to “on golden pond” which in Danish became “I deres sensommer” (in their late summer).

Salt of life
water
hard to harvest

Inspired by Jem at her place “sound of splinters” though not in paper but instead sand writing.

On the south patio
sitting with a cold beer
listen to the towns’ rock festival

Carefully
half moon tilted
barely over the horizon

Unknown cemetery
some left
others just arrived

Behind velvet gown
a scent of women
secret of all time

A feast among the big ones, many guest, and they all seems to be drunk.

I was wondering – again
of the eye in the sky
so brightly still it shines
close and yet far away
my dream

It’s an
evaluation
a subprime being
of course
can you say it’s not?
The writer, the reader
they all tell the same story
embrace it – live with it
thrive with it
the muses of the poet

Turning away
from the Sun
Sunflower field
protect the future
Seeds

 Ship 1

Reflecting in water
image of ship
blurred unrecognized

Too late Shiki Monthly

Ship 2

Ship in water
reflected and blurred
unrecognized

Also too late for Shiki Monthly

 Ship 3

Tall ship
in harbor
waiting impatient

Yet another too late for Shiki Monthly

Taken the highroad
in the Queens absent

Defy true love and married
and things take another road
Dark side of Force

Going South
Weather same as home
still no sun

There was a discussion a little while ago about thunder & lightning in the past, present and future.
Remembering the thunder & lightning in the past as rather impressive events and treated with respect and awe.

Remembering that when we in 1963 moved from a southern town to a more northern town it seems to have more thunder & lightning, we still treated it with the respect as one should do, with this kind of nature’s magnificent events.

Up to the present days when in short time there has been two lightning strikes – one on a golf course and one on a soccer ground. The first one deadly, and the second is still in debate between the doctors and the masters above.

Our discussion ran along the line whether man was growing reckless, thinking we do as we please, and do it regardless of that nature is a powerful force, not to taken lightly.

Only fools
defy a true force of nature
thunder and lightning

Universal language
seems to be the one of
either pigeons or crows

Walking through the forest
all the time kissing
mistletoe hanging from every tree
