sparrows picking up
where cathedral bells
leave off
sparrows picking up
where cathedral bells
leave off
Starry cloak of night
Moon gleams in a buttonhole
A dapper evening
muggy twilight–
stars cooling off
in the pond
Blaze against the night
The crackly shell slides down
Melted cream revealed
the sleeping trees
outside my window;
Summer’s first cricket
Smoky hickory
Curling through the summer night
sneaking through windows
Summer solstice–
my leisurely pace
matches the Sun’s
The strawberry stain
Bleeds against her smiling mouth
Just before the kiss
the Moon’s daughter,
looking for shooting stars,
spies a dragon
the finches’
morning argument
–a crow interjects
Peeking strawberries
From beneath the whipped cream clouds
Of a shortcake slice
quiet gallery…
a fly lands
next to a Monet
Kitten in the sun
Royalty on nature’s throne
Purring contentment
