Ghosts of Spring Past

 
kids hunting tadpoles,  
my icy toes walk, slip, slide 
against the flow  

dappled light on green water 
birds hop branch to branch heckling

The Greening

birds shake rain from wings, 
the wind speaks in the trees 
split leaf casings dance  

withholding from hungry leaves 
a dawn breakfast of sunlight

Every day can’t be sunny


surf pounds the shore 
of pink and gray speckled granite, 
damp, stinging rain  

when I move, even stones 
sparkle like diamonds

Hear your own singing


Saturday morning,  
the birds create a stir but 
the wind holds its breath

Hope is Green


bluejays shake their wings 
cottonfloss snowflakes tumble 
snowdrops dip low

Happy New Year!

May your 2024 reach the heights,
while you stay warm and cozy.
May your family be free of fights
and your home quiet and rosy.

Late December

Winter days dwindle, 
tree lights, tinsel and 
hearts kindle. 
Chilled to the bone, 
those who roamed 
came home.

September Sunday

Cooling wind, 
a lonely dog, 
insect arpeggios, 
slow rolling fog: 
autumn’s song and 
the highway hum.
May Monday morning
never come.

Never Still

light shifts in the trees,
fallen leaves tumble and turn,
going with the flow

beached downstream for a moment
before another wind comes

Sunset Magic

sunset unfolds
one still summer night, 
and restores my mood

Umbrella Stained Glass

toasties and crumble 
beneath a magical sky, 
family smiles

Abbey Twilight

cloudless sunset, 
spun gold at the horizon, 
Irish twilight
