Summer days cling to,Old maples whispering tales,Recalled over years. The moon kisses sky,Ascending misty midlands,Radiating calm. Crackling logs shatter,Spraying fiery dancers,Fading into dark.

Empty boxes
Empty cardboard box,Home once to a trifle thing,Now claimed by my cat.
A return to normalcy
A cuckoo's call rise,Draws the ire of a sleeper,Hit SNOOZE, roll over. Cat meows just outside,Complaining about the food,Or the lack thereof. Groggy fellow groans,A night's sleep is only goodWhen you can sleep in. COVID cases rise,Put on a mask, do your part,Got to get through this.
