where the days just lay there and sizzled."
– Sue Monk Kidd
August is when kids begin to either dread or welcome the
beginning of school days again, depending upon their own level of
desired participation. For adults the month brings an emphasis on
professional Sports, also depending upon personal likes and dislikes.
For your editor, it is Hurray! Football!
Bud Lemire's poems for this issue are "Don't Get Caught Up in
The Fog," "I'm A Private Man," and "One Journey Ends." Walt Perryman,
who does 'Cowboy Poetry' at Luckenbach, sent these poems "Marley," "Not
Just Cowboys," and "More Thought about Clotheslines."
John I. Blair submitted "Life Cycle" for August, and yours
