when summer days and winter nights.

That plunders waning sunlight.

the waining

The waning   

A summer is over
tired days
dust 
and falling leaves 
in the cafes 
window
I see 
the sad reflection 
of yesterday's
smiles

A
dumb flick
prophetic
in waning days
of an empire

flag of demagogue flown higher

Limerick 5

Eaglet,dolphins and waning light,
Plane,rockets and flowing kite.
Attendant of air all are,
But eaglet boast of her star.
Now,she's is out of sight.

Cactus Moon

The waning hours

Asleep in time

A dream in rhyme

Desert sublime

So says the moon

So setting soon

Upon the dunes

Cactus flowers

As Springtime hovers in the wings
in early March, cold north winds rage.
We’ll soon feel winter’s last cold blast;
then Spring will thrive on center state.

a goldfinch feather —
the black and yellow foundling
carried by the wind
plucked from a waning winglet
        lad grips flight in his fingers
