Happy Groundhog's Day

...I wish you health
I wish you light
and happy Groundhogs Day
tonight...

Cellular

...She still phones, though not to me.
I imagine her small-talking,
see her walking to the local shops with a mutual friend
who sometimes phones me just to ask
if she has phoned yet?
Birds chatter ...

A Gray Light Sparkles

...
Branches thatch a spackled sky.
Snow lays itself down
to sleep lightly.

An airborne coyote-itch addles
drops of sunlight
until they drizzle.

Splatters of graying-green
on the hairy chops...

Groundhog Early

...A mild spell in winter.
Groundhogs have escaped from their slow dreams.
The hedgerow confirms,
their wide-hipped shuffling as they grub for vittles.

Evening brings one whistle pig to February l...

Two Groundhogs

...Two groundhogs, the focus of news,
Saw no shadows, according to crews
Who were filming to learn
What they’d hoped to discern
About how long we’d pay winter’s dues.

Lack of shadows means we sho...

Forecast

...What would it be like if you lived in paradise, what would it like if you didn’t have to work for the rest of your life? What would it be like if you could travel the world on a speed boat and have b...

Morning in a Leafy Time

...
A bisque sun on the windowsill, the early light smells of marigolds.
Beyond, the garden is as usual, a haven for cracked clay pots,
after windy nights there are yet more broken terracotta options...

Things That Get My Goat

...
Everyone has a story, 
of their favorite things to tell.
Nobody likes to talk about, 
those things that make them mad as hell.

So here are a few of the things ,
that really get me pissed.
I...

There Will Be Moonbeams

...There will be moonbeams tomorrow,
and on them will ride
the ghostly images of one last summer evening.

Winter is roaring somewhere,
here it is creeping under the hedgerow,
catching groundhogs ...

The Neighborhood Hoodlums

...Crazy rabbits chomping on my lettuce
Deer eating the flowers right down to their nubs
Woodpeckers drilling right through the siding
Armadillos rooting in search of grubs

Squirrels trying to cli...

Cold Sky

...winter wolves have eaten the tulips
the wind has pawed and pillaged
small dogs strain on their leashes
a summer storm has ice in its veins
warner airs arrived too late
to save the groundhogs lit...

Spring's Song

...
Joy, breathless joy, sings to the robin, spring
Coloring hearts and heavens in wonder
Delighting souls with dazzling hues to bring
Raining light through lives who love the thunder

...

Backyard Fuzziness

...Backyard mavens, wise crones
recall generations of groundhogs
that have dwelt in these hedgerows.

In winter
they seed the ground with 'Puffcorn Delites'
bought wholesale from Sam's Club.
The ...

Steps In Time

...I have seen the past come and go-
we all have.
I have seen the old be replaced
by the new –
we all have.
I have watched whole groundhog families
grow, thrive, and die
in one stretch of hedgero...

Late Autumnal Flames

...Autumn expires In its own fires
simmering the fallen with flaring tints.
Leaves crepitate and crackle
skived to crisp skins.
Hedgerows turn to vacant
crypts, twigs to wooden teeth. 
Arboreal em...
