Encouragement: Could It Be–Days Of Cat Naps And Languor Are Over?

It could be… It could be!

And on the last sundae, soondae, serene Sunday Press this month,
I want to invite you
to sit back and listen
to two short YouTube videos you might have missed the
first time they aired.
Find them at the Experiments In Fiction YouTube Channel.

Aye, where are they—
the songs of September?
As we cross the meridian into Fall?
A winnowing wind disturbs the grass,
my hair soft-lifts

A TIME TO TALK
by Robert Frost 1874 – 1963

When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.


This poem is in the public domain.
Happy Birthday to my friend, Kathryn A. LeRoy,

the lovely cover photo of 
In The Shadow of Rainbows

Happy last Sunday in August, friends.
May the winds this week provide smooth sailing into the new month.

For next week, I have a poem that dates back to the Renaissance period.
It’s a gorgeous poem about the human mind I think you’ll like.

Thanks for reading today.

    I love your Sunday sundae messages. And what a lovely gift to find your poems and one from another favorite poet, Robert Frost. I would certainly put down my gardening spade to visit with you, my friend. Imagine the long, happy talk we could have across a garden gate.
