Blue Monday: Lemons
A mural honoring lemon growers, Exeter, California.
The lemons in my basket
Are plump and ripe—not sweet!
But still my lovely lemons
Are good enough to eat!
If you’d prefer a mango,
There’s not much I can do,
For all these lovely lemons
Were gathered just for you!

Tools
Gardening tools at Micke Grove Regional Park, Lodi, California.
The gardener’s tools
wait without knowing they wait
to be used again.

Blue Monday: No Geese in the Sky
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
There aren’t any geese in the sky,
There’s only a cloud flying by—
A beautiful day
To work or to play
Or maybe to get some shuteye!

Blue Monday: Wild and Lonely Place
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
In a wild and lonely place
Hikers may come face to face
With beasts hungry, gaunt, and weak—
At that point it’s best to shriek!

Blue Monday: Wind Turbines
Wind turbines generate electricity on the outskirts of Ocotillo, California.
The turbines go round and around,
And yet they make scarcely a sound.
The power that’s made
Comes from a long blade,
Propelled by the wind that’s westbound.

How
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
How many mountains
does it take to keep a cloud
from falling to earth?

Nests
San Francisco, California
Urban wilderness—
high above the teeming streets
sparrows build snug nests.
