Phoenix

Hope lives on
While spring blooms
In our autumn

Hope springs eternal
A fifteen-dollar hot dog

A perfect season
Fleeting as a kinglet’s pose
Let’s keep walking

Playing life's game
With a lead birdy

Nature lover
Swatting at flies
With a pickleball paddle

Cocktails and shuffleboard
I hope we win this time

Fruiting plum
Late-season blooming
Urban harvest

Plum sauce for savory meals;
Sipping plum wine, for warmth

Agree. The live, in-person experience is an end member; an ideal.

I’m open to options: simple & crude & as people can respond on the Masto; & organized live video chat.

I may participate in either or both. A coalition of the willing.

I’ll dip my toes first, maybe host a virtual meeting later.

Broken bottle
The surf comes in
Smoothing time

College students play
volleyball and beer bong
barely clothed

Rituals ancient and new
where the sea meets beach and dune

A man o' war, washed
ashore, venomous but dead
A Laughing Gull smirks

A murder looking on
Territorial battle

Crows on the flying
Argue unrelenting
