the dragonfly’s drone
suddenly silenced when it
alights on my palm
–
stillness-
the dragonfly
landed

Backwater
ancient banyan roots
a lounging snapping turtle
basks in the sunlight
–
bayou roots-
the sun warms
a lazy turtle
Drifts
A late spring snowfall
Endless cottonwood tree seeds
Floating through the air
Fall
Autumn’s final leaf
Lets go it’s hold on winter
And portends the spring
Waves
Tall meadow grasses
Tousled by a humble breeze
Whisper in concert
Peep
The springtime wetland
Chorus comes alive at dusk
As the peep frogs sing
Hope
From the sheer cliff face
An eager seedling rises
Grasping at the sun
Walden
Through the morning mist
A wading crane, motionless
Suddenly takes flight
Summer
Draped on an elm bough
Branches dapple the sunlight
That warms up my cat
Brevity
Late October rain
Bees covet the wildflowers
While the desert blooms
