Downstream
strong flowing rivers
carry meadows and mountains
away to the sea
–
april rains…
roaring brooks
become brethren

Fantasy
lilacs in her hair
as she lays in the grass with
clouds floating whimsy
–
escapees from
my minds eye
in the clouds
Drenched
after the rain storm
mossy scent of wet pavement
steaming in the heat
–
suddenly
heavy raindrops
bursting
Yardwork
amid the spring blooms
autumn’s final vestiges
at last put to rest
–
fallen leaves-
in time become
new soil
Nectar
honeysuckle vines
distilling morning sunlight
into liquid gold
–
honeysuckles-
concentrating
liquid sunlightc
Silence
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
