Evening
burnt umber thickets
briars silhouetted by
a russet sunset
–
brambles
illuminated by
the dying day

Fantasy
lilacs in her hair
as she lays in the grass with
clouds floating whimsy
–
escapees from
my minds eye
in the clouds
Unseen
footprints in the grass
below my bedroom widow
revealed by the dawn
–
hidden-
disguised by the night
peering undetected
Nectar
honeysuckle vines
distilling morning sunlight
into liquid gold
–
honeysuckles-
concentrating
liquid sunlightc
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
Hope
From the sheer cliff face
An eager seedling rises
Grasping at the sun
Brevity
Late October rain
Bees covet the wildflowers
While the desert blooms
Mirage
Heat searing the dunes
Visions of water beckon
Far in the distance.
