Description
-31-an end
is but the start
of many possibilities
-30-
too long from sunlight
even the hardy
wither
-29-
sand moves
feet falter
trying to keep pace
-28-
severed bud
craves water
that it may yet bloom
-27-
brooding skies surround
but here
we lie in sunlight
-26-
curled in my lap
she purrs-
content
-25-
lips engulf
the plump strawberry:
ecstasy
-24-
dulcet music-
how soon to be satisfied,
this yearning?
-23-
sweet strawberry
bitter tea-
decadent blend
-22-
branches
kissed by dawn
find their vigor
-21-
solitary tree-
stripped limbs make
a mute entreaty
-20-
rousing
life defies
the abrupt chill
-19-
pear branch-
buds among thorns
-18-
beyond the fence
poppies
-17-
scraggly shrub
dons a transforming robe-
white and pink petals
-16-
a phantom's song
in duet-
unexpected tears
-15-
reveling
in the wonder of a child
discovering history
-14-
the pleasant paradox
of cold wind
and sunshine
-13-
on massive shoulders,
rugged clouds
lift the sky
-12-
sneeze to my left
sniffle to my right-
pollen looms
-11-
black tea;
dark morning-
one cures the other
-10-
foul thief!
I want my hour back!
-9-
plastic tubes
become a new world
to the children
-8-
whirling blades
reap grass and weed-
yellow eyes remain
-7-
returning,
friends make the world
whole again
-6-
white disk or azure tube...
which will quash the pain today?
-5-
fluffy cat peeking in,
her coat
still thinks it's winter
-4-
engulfed in blossoms,
neighbor's tree
shames my scruffy lawn
-3-
parched air’s electric gift-
passed on with a zap
and a yelp
-2-
light breeze, light jacket-
like my cats,
I shed my winter coat
-1-
cleansing winter rains-
why have they left
my car so filthy?
