Reflection – February 5, 2024
The water moved in all sorts of ways Pooling in circles around little circles Swirling… I swam for awhile Before I drove away
Brevity – January 2, 2024
A glimpse out the glass door One leaf was up on it’s edge doing cartwheels across the frozen tundra It had a bounce to it’s step While the buttery morning light illuminated it’s glory Losing my mind in the time it took to go it’s path Laying motionless in the short winter grass Traveling with … Continue reading Brevity – January 2, 2024
Dressed in snow…
Moments we find…

Lines of Rain – September 6, 2023
The ground Is not full of puddles Just enough for the heat To permeate my nose God, I love that smell I can see through the leaves And the branches Holding on are turning bright red The weeping… And weeping

Layers and layers Unfold Snowy tinks on my window The branches bud And search for the sun Melting
Cyclical Midwest – March 15, 2021
The geese Gurgling crisply above Ice tapping at the window As the Snow tucks me in Just in time to cover the popping spring But still The smell is glorious When I poke my nose Out the front door It should be gone By the morrow
Talking to you…raindrops 4/30/20
I opened my front door the other day. It was raining. Each drip looked as if it stung the cement landing quickly and bouncing sharply upward breaking into pieces. I stood there for awhile watching. I listened and I smelled. There was absolutely nothing unordinary or special, to make this memory stick. The air didn’t … Continue reading Talking to you…raindrops 4/30/20
Winter’s Mist – February 7, 2020
Barren and cold So many snowflakes Landing one at a time Altogether Barely big enough To separate Playing with each other Grounded with a kiss And gone
We All Disappear – February 9, 2020
When the fog settles in The street lights Glow a little wider. Up that hill Just ahead I see my way, It’s not clear. The red lights disappear Flat, on the horizon line. I’m left wandering, Will I?
A Garfield Thought – January 16, 2020
Can you imagine Life without lasagna Smelling the fresh breeze Spring rolling up from under the leftover snow As the sun beats down Getting higher and higher Until sinking again Feeling fall take it’s hold Shaking it’s trunk The grasp shivering down Snow, beautiful white snow Dancing in the sky Landing in just the right … Continue reading A Garfield Thought – January 16, 2020
Tendrils of Credence – January 23, 2020
Bubbles of ice Stretching As far as the temperature Drops, Leaving nothing untouched And Accepting its reach.
Spiced – November 18, 2019
Branches, scattered Leaves, clinging Against the dull heavens ~~~ Roasted with red spice.
Taking a Little Break…
~~~You can find me playing in the leaves~~~
Shaking Fingers – September 24, 2019
Trees Blow at me. I can’t stop them, Or make them, I see them. Shaking fingers Luring me in...
Blue and Smokey – September 12, 2019
A swollen old tree, Blue and Smokey. Where a knot, extended Splits into the ground. A Home, a muse. Beauty not built, But shaped by opportunity. It holds a place Living a lifetime Right off the wayside. Do you notice, Or would it pass you by?
Red – August 14, 2019
A funny little dance As I watch by chance Bouncing and flirting To down right deserting Spastically Slapping And taking their bows Staring out my back windows. Between each slat The branches do play The leaves maroon and cold The sun kissed tint of red, bold.
The Breeze Blows By – August 16, 2019
Alive and soft Over my skin. In my mouth, She swirls And pushes. Brushing down my arm, Letting me feel the secrets Of her journey Comforting the past. My cheeks and lips Perk up to feel the love. I breath her in, Fresh dirt and bumble bees. A lull lures me To listen, Chirping and … Continue reading The Breeze Blows By – August 16, 2019
