Judith Kelly Quaempts
Back Porch Musings
Geraniums, canary vine, hanging verbena, lacy parrot and purple pansies. Crickets sing in the tall grass, birch leaves tremble, the sycamore breathes, and honeybees drone over a water bowl. A morning that recalls childhood summers. Not yet too warm, ghosts of clouds in Fra Angelico skies, the hiss of sprinklers from the next yard, light breeze, the sun on my shoulders.
From a distant garden, wind chimes.
Judith Kelly Quaempts lives and writes in rural eastern Oregon. Her work has been published online and in print, most recently in Windfall, Poetry Box, and Crafty Poet II.
