Splish splash splash; It is a colorful blash; A brown leaf floats in a bathtub, Does a leaf make noise, I doubt!!! Yup!!! A little colorful leaf, plunges into the bath; Makes a sigh as a sign of relief; Soon, other leaves join the path Spattering the drops, They do hop; Here, over there, And everywhere. The leaves play, they giggle; They spray , they wiggle; They make...

It stood like a sentinel at the world’s bleak last shore, its gnarled branches clawing at a churning grey November sky, above a thin and narrowing yellow band of waning light auguring the coming night. Rattling seed pods faintly clicked— (playing hollow, spectral tunes) like a wind-chime built for wraiths. Brittle voices rose and fell in...

Abundance of daisies, Delicate white petals, Leaves of green, A meadow, so beautiful, A joy to be seen. Star shaped white faces, Gently swaying in the breeze, They appear everywhere, In fields and amongst trees. The joy of nature. Wild and wonderful, So graceful and silent, Daisies so delicate and small, A field full of daisies, Such a lovely...

She came in silence where the cedars sway, A lunar hush beneath the argent trees. The serpentine wind curled words she wouldn't say— Just breaths and bow and coolness on the breeze. Her sisters moved like stars in cascade flight, The Hunters, free of longing, fierce and far. Their eyes held depths no lover dared to write, Each step a hymn beneath...

I dreamed that snow fell on the hill, while far below the sea was still; it covered paths that we once knew when I was so in love with you. I saw the bridge where we would stand, lips pressed together, hand in hand, where we sought shelter from the rain when my heart smiled and felt no pain. But as I wakened...

There will never be A story told That does not measure Hope so old As in this tree With shading bow As here I sit In writing now For in this ancient Solid form That buries deep Under the norm Of human treadmill Feet that scurry A wisdom lies Below the flurry Such gnarly skin Yet seasoned clothes A message tall This tree bestows For those with eyes For those with ears A whisper to...

The sun my awakening a strip of asphalt shimmers off somewhere in Nebraska hundreds of miles from home. Sandhills seen for the first time I look at them with eyes of a child but my body aches as life springs forth from underground streams. Center lines are being painted an arduous day of work promised it always arrives too soon but serene skies stretch to endless horizons. My...

River makes its final clunk Between Hills Rolling boulders like turtle shells Empty of their mouths and hearts River bent Flailing legs and neck No longer reflects The sun and moon From water’s absence down its back. Turns her terrible brittle head From me Teeth gnashing on the spools of willow To her memory When mud was forest Footsteps Croaking with frogs and dazzled with dragonflies Ringed in a halo of cold...
