out of the office
vacation to use or lose
respite from routine
_____
beware the doldrums
summer autumn winter spring
no wind at low tide
_____
single male grackle
perched on the peak of the roof
boat-tailed weather vane
_____
too late for rescue
search resumes by air and sea
this somber morning
_____
monarch butterflies
flitting through the autumn air
near the King and Prince
_____
answering machine
still taking calls for someone
stuck on island time
