moonlight off-beat anagram.
Shadow ripple shrinks.

Blue Jay hops up to the sky.

Bough to branch to twig.
white blanketed trees
snowflakes dancing from the sky
melting on my tongue
snowflakes dancing from the sky
melting on my tongue

leaves blowing like thoughts
so much wind across my face
leaves blowing like thoughts
Silver light fishes
Leaping sparks on the water
Cast down from the sun
Leaping sparks on the water
Cast down from the sun

Sun begins to warm the earth-
Horse whinnies hello.
Sun begins to warm the earth-
Horse whinnies hello.

by full moon. The unseen half?

by full moon. The unseen half?
Rabbit all the same.

freshly cut grass scent -
falling next to the haystack
some rays of sunshine
falling next to the haystack
some rays of sunshine
Crows devil the sky
Torn old rags of sooty wings
Ghosts of Strathnaver
Torn old rags of sooty wings
Ghosts of Strathnaver
her letters reflect
the beating sun and flutter
thousands of miles, here

thousands of miles, here
Waxing and waning
the moon and I are the same
caught in ebb and flow
the moon and I are the same
caught in ebb and flow
shimmering sunset
a new horizon of hope
free spirit adrift
a new horizon of hope
free spirit adrift
Dawn. I watch the light
orb rising, transporting love
and a vacant seat.

and a vacant seat.
red roses in mud
pink sky dripping falling stars
sparrow shakes a worm
pink sky dripping falling stars

under a tree while
sun burns as on primal day
shadows dance with wind

shadows dance with wind
fish beneath dark waves
thunderclouds invade the sky
you stay safe below

you stay safe below
Roiling sky above
Calm lagoon yields today's catch
Distant man watching

Afternoon- sunshine.
Here come the daily rainclouds,
like jealous lovers.

like jealous lovers.
The colors of dusk
settle over my small town
I scratch a lotto

Eagles soar so high
Sentinels in the blue sky
Feathers drift - a Gift!

under the Sonoran sun-
blue agave haze

a distant chain saw
beneath an old moon
Pemigewasset gabbles-
riverrocks rounding

riverrocks rounding

snow bound moonlight hardening
where dreams are buried

where dreams are buried
Fragrance like sweet tea,
The first rose of spring blushes
Warm pink in the sun.
The first rose of spring blushes
Warm pink in the sun.

all the leaves look sharp
dandelion seed
buried in the other side
lying beside moon

lying beside moon
Sun freckles shoulders

Sweaters hibernate
The night sky whispers
A single star twinkles bright
Earth can't hear her call

Earth can't hear her call
