"KANSAS TROUBLES"

Not having to go far
To witness mayhem.
Loving every minute
Of the storm.
Gathering reference
While dodging
Hailstones.
Realizing what I've
Become.......
Stormchaser!

"RAIN"

Last bit of light
Washing off the field.
Waiting for the rush
That comes with
The wind.

Rain, drenching thirsty
Fields.
Deep breath,
Catching the clean smell.
Renewing earth,
And faith.

"MORE THAN ENOUGH"

"Never catch a break,"
Said Harold.
"Not from these storms."
More rain than 
He needs.
More wind than his crops
Can handle.

Livestock jumpy in
Their pens,
Soaked rows of
Fresh turned hay.
Never-ending battle
In the middle of 
This land.

"SOUNDS OF WATER"

I walk through the field,
Smelling the damp air.
Search the distance
For the glint 
Of water.

Around the bend,
Noises of swift moving
Water.

Never disappointed
On the road
Less Traveled.

"HAVEN"

The only conifer
On the hill.
Safety net for
Birds in flight.
From a distance,
A murmuring of swallows
Sweeps inside its
Shape.

Minutes pass, I anticipate
The explosion
And am not 
Disappointed.

Alone.
Ageless feeling of
Solitude.

"END OF AN ERA"

She stands alone.
Someone's memory.
A life remembered,
Maybe.
Depends on who's left
To pull on that 
Thread.

Once full of life,
Ever battered by 
Storms.
She will stand her
Ground.
Until her last column 
Falls.

"PORCH LIGHT"

Gives a soft glow to
The landscape;
Right outside the 
Door.
Moonlight is the subtle
Touch 
That lights the 
Yard.

Cup of coffee on the 
Porch,
A feeling that the summer
Fades,
Right before my eyes.
Planning for a 
Fall cleanup,
Before it even
Happens.

                        JP
"AFTERGLOW"

Looking west, a
Favorite view.
Well, until 
Sunrise in the 
East.

Waiting for the sun
To set.
Cooler is not always
Possible here!
Just dark may be
Enough
To keep the night 
Bearable.
Hope springs
Eternal.

"LAST OUTPOST"

Nothing beyond
That he can 
See.
Miles of flat
Land.
Empty fields
He tells me.

Looking out, 
I see wildflowers,
Butterflies and bees.
Sparrows taking a
Dust bath.

All in how you 
Look at it.

                            JP
"STILL STANDING"

Years ago, a beauty.
1980 was the first glimpse
She gave me
Of her strength.

Hayloft full,
Stalls with horses,
Swallows nesting
Above.

She has her memories,
As do I.

"FARTHEST REACH"

Been all the way to
Those hills.
Farther may not be
Possible,
But trying is.

Age matters only to 
Those that 
Count.
Really think that the 
New knee
Needs to prove 
Itself.
Go for it!

                              JP
"ROSIE AND TANGO"

Covered in twilight,
Two friends ending
The day.
Starting to slow-walk
Back to the barn.

Stable-mates,
Comfortable with each
Others antics.
Loving the cool
Evening air,
She waits at the barn as
They stop one more
Time.
"Eventually", she whispers.

HOMAGE

Lost in the storm,
One white cloud,
With attitude.
There are safer spots
Than this field.

Safer, yes,
But not as
Exciting.
