Caution
semaphore flags snap
high in the ominous sky
double back and red
–
a tempest-
warning flags
flying high

Wane
the cricket’s refrain
raspy in the evening woods
fades as the night falls
–
evening woods-
crickets fade
as midnight nears
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
Solitude
Waves crash on the shore
As uncounted grains of sand
Sift through my fingers
Blues
Smoky music seeps
Through these thin apartment walls
And pools in my ears
Return
Salt hangs in the mist
The bell from a channel buoy
Guiding me back home
Waves
Ripples of dreams lap
Against the shores of the night
Lulling me to sleep
Beach
Sunset on the dunes
Sibilant whispers whirl from
The wind in the reeds
Flock
Birds take flight en masse
Forming paintings in the sky
For just a moment
