Weather opened im my memory bank anthology

Pale brimstone 
     emerge 
on days windblown
 hover
       flower to flower 
ducking Spring's sudden shower

 Common butterflies so blue
 each season
two
       generations new
 small heath  marbled white
&  speckled brown
       so slow in flight

 Winter's caterpillars 
green & small
     fragile miracles
to enthrall

No breeze tonight
 trees pose 
       statuesque
 flowers icily still
 time slows
        to a stop 

Grasses stand
      to attention's call
 thought holds on pause
 air has 
       that feel of fall

Once,summer green 
    then   autumn gold
 bedecked the ancient trees
 now in silhouette
        laid bare 
mistletoed 
       in winter frieze

 flurries of snow
           fine & dry 
on its branches     lie

      white stars  scurry & shift 
in piles 
        of    patterned drifts
