bare branches
leaning over the waves
early spring shade
fell with snowmelt?
toppled by spring winds?
somewhere -what age?
vibration mode
a quiver in the Lenten Rose
buzzing bees!
spring colors
wrapped
in a blanket
bare branches
leaning over the waves
early spring shade
fell with snowmelt?
toppled by spring winds?
somewhere -what age?
vibration mode
a quiver in the Lenten Rose
buzzing bees!
spring colors
wrapped
in a blanket
swipe of her brush
ceiling paint -droplets of moonlight
spring rain
I enter my saved location (work) in Google Maps. It lets me know it will be a twenty-two minute drive. Google is unaware I intend to avoid the highway and take the airport loop, adding a few more minutes.
Before leaving I turn on the radio and sync my phone. What playlist today? Reggae, Rock (70’s), Classical Indian music, Blues, Baroque? Or maybe skip the music app altogether and try a station’s view of the morning news?
I go with Classical Indian Music.
25…35…45…50 mph
her many droplets
burn into the mountain
morning fog
I return to the highway. Drivers wrap around me like an itchy, but warm wool blanket.
50…45…35…25 mph
Google Maps lets me know I’ve arrived at my destination (work).
Right on time.
I turn the key.
flowering
over a babbling brook
without a quiver
rushing out the door
before the day’s winds -I pause
with the daffodil
grasses opened hands
feathered light of a crescent
splash of morning dew
cleansing the water dish
an owl’s hoot -the ripples spread
a drop of moonlight
the falling spring rain
up and down the iris stems
the falling spring rain
autumn tree pedals
winter-summer stems of grass
spring -flower’s full bloom!
cloudy skies reflect
catkins reach -a symphony
flower shop window
in the box truck’s wake
a rumbling in the alley
birch garden sparkles
a thread of branches
patch quilt sown by many hands
color flows -brittle
in a crooked line
moist scent of soil and moss
a robin hopping
I lower my gaze
looking down at a night sky
shade of a park bench
