Deer Lake of Burnett County

History winking
On the black velvet water,
No voices are heard;

No wolves laughing in the woods,
Just stars on Deer Lake’s black skin.

Story of a Thumb

Exposing its face—
The thumb of a hitchhiker
The thumb stops a car

And the traveler gets in—
Another story begins!

Afternoon Music

Cool breezy chapel,
Summer wedding— pastor’s voice
Climbs into the bride’s 

Ears, the groom whispers to God;
A baby cries— rings exchanged.

Petals

Daisy petal looks
Up inside my eyes and sings
Them a flower song;

My eyes listen with all ears
Soaked in song-color magic!

The Grinning Truth

Saying it— the truth;

                   it leaves my lips—

	       the truth,

                   and enters your ears—

                            the truth,

                   making me free—

                            the truth,

                   making you understand—

                            the truth,

                   creating silence with sound—

                            the truth,

                   making me grin—

                            the truth.

Robin's Song

A robin’s song flies
Up into the air and meets
Small silver snowflakes—

The song spreads its wings to dance
On top of snowflake silence.
