Summer in Las Vegas1

Have I written this poem before?
Summer in Las Vegas
is triple digit temperatures,
sometimes with rain
and sometimes without it.

Sometimes I miss Oklahoma
with its tornadoes,
rolling thunder,
and crisp bolts of lightning.

Sometimes I prefer Nevada
with its dark storm clouds,
crisp lightning bolts,
rolling thunder,
and triple digit temperatures.

Gratitude List for 10 Kalimát

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that the 10 Rid Fare book I ordered from Paratransit arrived today.
          ...for fresh brewed hot black coffee on the cloudy summer morning.
          ...that I was able to catch the postal delivery person and mail the information Forester Financial requested today.
          ...for the chocolate covered doughnut holes I had to go with my coffee this morning.
          ...that I have 182 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the grapes I had to go with my lunch.
          ...that I have $25.97 in my Vindale Research account.
