petal rain
a ripple of banjo
in the breeze
roadside attraction
an old hubcap rusting
into autumn
arbor day
we sweep the pollen
from the porch
- Details
the rosy glow
in a rabbit’s ear
autumn evening
downtown
the nonstop honking
of wild geese
- Details
zen garden
the lovers behind Buddha’s back
fighting
telling me
to hold that thought
babbling brook
- Details
driving rain —
snug under a lone pine
the scent of sheep
long haul flight
a skein of geese slides
between high clouds
10pm bells. . .
scents on the breeze
only the dog can smell
- Details
crane’s bill
the sweetening
of dusk
river dust
the sparkle of sunset
within my palm
- Details
leaves scuttle
across stone
—a robin trills
early spring
the slow rotation
of windmills
- Details
a familiar scent
between the covers
my favorite book
birdseed
a second helping
in the chipmunk's cheek
- Details
velvet night
falling snow
deepens the silence
joining the wolves
and their moonlight sonata –
grandpa`s stories
- Details
splashing over the moon bridge schooling fish
applied mathematics chambered nautilus
matter materia mater mother
earth
- Details
city river
in the cold wind
scattered ashes
setting a path
through the flurry
first frost
snaking along
coastal roads
early birds
