poem

small waffles 

in a plastic container

later for a plastic frog

a bit of water

for splashing around

we'll watch him

it's summer

after all

(AW, July 2026)

 

poem

the time of the year 

for vine-ripened tomatoes

cucumbers and melons

women leave hair salons

and the high bills give them

a feeling of confidence

they'll cut the tomatoes

with their sharp knives

they'll find words

if someone wants 

to argue with them

(AW, July 2026)

 

haiku

the intense heat

now 4 days ago

still tired from it

(AW, July 2026)

 

poem

a nearly treeless area

the smell of melting asphalt

decisions of the past

now our curse and sorrow

I have to say that people

are aged in this week

with extreme heat

and they hate wrinkles

well solutions are needed

soon a new moisturizer

will be in the offer

(AW, June 2026)

 

poem

38 C today

June 26, 2026

chosen for weddings 

across the country

the bride's mother

dreams about 

a bucket with water 

under the table

(AW, June 2026)

the word summer

now filled to the brim

haiku

a flood of typos

a brain during

reading about Nero
