In Lieu of Task To-do ...

Today I'm trying to ignore this to-do list...(except the last thing:)

...for more of this...

Fill blank windowsills with flowers,

Let to-do lists idly sit

Soft, soft, summer doffed of hours

Drains to eons echo-lit

Lie beneath the beaming leaf-bough

Wander lanes with plumed pit-stops

Climb to heaven in a hay-mow

Or a wild-grass strummed hilltop

Drive without a destination

Run, but only if you must

Make Today a celebration

Of what morrow turns to dust

Drink the ink that poets plunder

Do not blink, oh, there it goes

Summer murmurs, spilling wonder

Like pink petals from a rose

Hesitate where barred gates beckon

Trespass; then plead pardon’s grace

Disturb lane-ways lush with bracken

Blue-strife, aster, Queen Ann’s Lace

Soon this berth of blooming bowers

Strips earth’s loom of petal-stars

Leaving in the wake of flowers

Winter’s ache of empty jars

Just went to choose a juicy snack and there are a whole lot of 'juicy snacks' to choose from!
