I'm in Court Square Park on a perfect summer Sunday morning in Memphis, Tennessee.A squirrel came by looking for a handout.
The fountain is silhouetted in the morning sun.
The sound of water falling
Soothing.
Haiku:
Soothing water falls
Birds scatter while conversing
Sunrise tree afire.
Yesterday a young lady from St. Louis said it is humid here!
I laughed.
Not the least bit humid to me.
My banana has a sticker that says: Peel the love.
in cobalt blue, bright yellow, and gleaming gold.
Sun in my eyes. A couple with a black fluffy dog walk by; the man has to run when his pet chases a squirrel.
The dog wears a pink harness.
There was a wedding here yesterday in the gazebo. I saw the groomsmen later. They wore gray.
It's 8:00 a.m. Central Time. Temperature 73 degrees.
The dog is still pulling the man around trying to find the squirrel, who is long gone up a tree.
A black man in a straw hat walks by. His silk shirt has tan and cream colored squares with large letters: B, C, E, I. The "I" is always laying sideways.
What does it mean?There is a building in the distance that has decorative half moon designs in gold and black.
A plaque on the base of the fountain reads: "Restoration and Illumination of this Fountain by Memphis Light, Gas, and Water Division City of Memphis 1949"
The sun illuminates the falling water.
Natural...calming...restoring.
