some of us some of us
further along
same path | when Annabel Lee when Annabel Lee
meets Edgar Allan Poe
raven sighs evermore
|
dandelions dandelions
stormtroopers
of spring | sky paint sky paint
on the outspread wings
a blue seagull |
listen listen
as the ice sings
Stony Creek | I have it from my Uncle John from Uncle John--
my bark
worse than
my bite. |
the water the water
and the steam
Iceland | a joy to hold joy to hold
a toddler in his tractor's cab
Uncle John
|
the more voices the more voices
men just shout louder
waiting for a table | across the lake across the lake
the tree is pure gold
Stony Creek |
six years six years
until this season ends
football widow | front-porch squirrel front-porch squirrel
looks for last winter's birdseed
first frost |
raindrops raindrops
tap tap tap on my pane
far into November | milkpods milkpods
share their softness
with the wind

Bertie cat Bertie cat
after his morning porch roll
lets me hold him | red etches red etches
Geneva's morning glories
heart center
|
a four o'clock nap a four o'clock nap
on a bright fall day
near enough to heaven | the pond at Troy the pond at Troy
white ibis or wood stork?
summer resident |
four puppies four puppies
on a tumble and roll
spring break | a blast a blast
of early morning pollen
weather front |
acorns acorns
adorn the sidewalk
fall landscape | a crown of pine a crown of pine
cones atop the tree
open road |
robins gone missing robins gone missing
farewell until spring
October mist | a day a day
on the porch
October reprieve
|
catches the frisbee catches the frisbee
with outstanding leaps
Elvis the frisbee dog | high cheekbones high cheekbones
sign of Indian blood
mother's words |
a pleasant walk a pleasant walk
on a sunny day
fall weather | berries on the hawthorn tree berries on the hawthorn tree
thrill the children
watch out for thorns, little ones |
In Memory a moment of silence
Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
Apple | likes his catmint likes his catmint
dried in an outdoor pavilion
Bertie Cat |
during the evening cusp during the evening cusp
children's laughter carries on the same breeze
as the last firefly | you are you are
what you eat
I'm yummy! |
beyond the perfect beyond the perfect
storm hides blue skies, white clouds
summer dreams | blossoms under the crab
apple blossoms soft yellow ducklings
spring renewal |
the rookery no herons, but geese
and ducklings
thrive | wild impatiens wild impatiens
bloom in red tranquility
La Pez River |
a single sunbeam a single sunbeam
breaks through the cloud forest
Costa Rica | moss thrives moss thrives
beside the waterfalls
Costa Rica |
star of sunlight star of sunlight
appears through the canopy
Vara Blanca | black squirrel black squirrel
celebrates spring with us
scamper town |
