red-winged blackbird’s flight
among the summer rainfall
a blue sky promise
spring chicken again
on well-trodden forest path
rose hip flashes red
pink roses and Jasmines
blossomed in your curly hair -
like a spring's deep breath
June summer heatwave
Sticks to warm soul, winds bellow
Against my sharp skin
Dancing clouds shape dreams
Streaking sun warms summer's grass
Universal peace
First springtime cricket
Dawn chorus percussionist
Raindrops answering
white linen dresses
pressed against the summer heat
cottonwood seed fluff
white dogwood petals
confetti in the spring breeze
carpet for bare feet
Silent trees reborn
birds call for spring, their notes soar
from telephone wires
sun ignites treetops
explosion of autumn flames
vibrant fall tresses
palm trees shed shaggy
winter pelts. spring drapes their necks
with fruity red beads
Trickling vernal pools
Sparkling in the new day sun
Springtime elixir
late evening spring breeze
wind chimes' melody rings out
tree frogs joining in
only half awake
arising now bound to one
who hears spring showers
autumn trees aflame
blazing canopies burn red
summer's fling consumed
door awning agleam
icicle diminishing
precocious spring tears
azaleas flourish
passionate hues returning
spring's loving embrace
a mouse in the wall
shuffling his wee deck of cards:
springtime solitaire
upon the flower
bumblebee high on pollen
burrows into spring
from a naked oak
a lonesome sparrow watches
autumn, then winter
fingers freezing dry
withered grass in late winter
grey sky closes in
early harvest stroll
tentative hands within reach
seeking rapprochement
winter reverie
sky appareled in patches
my thoughts piled in drifts
Cold breeze strokes my skin
Soft melody of raindrops
Calm winter morning
I watch the gold leaves
Dancing lightly through the air
Autumn lifts her head
car engine idling
watching turtles cross the road
summer construction
Beginning of Fall
Seersucker suit put away
with the summer tan
Bee shadows flutter
Over lavender blossoms -
Summer's end begins
cool autumn morning
the northern mockingbird's song
wakes dozing daisies
Summer fog rolls in.
Dewdrops bead the blooming rose.
Breathe the scented air.
lacy goldenrod
autumn's delicate yellow
will not go gently
lone cottonwood leaf
spirals in harsh summer heat
grass yellows loudly
Hibiscus flowers
Wither in the new darkness
Waiting for summer
blue and green marbles
rolling through the empty house
looking for summer
Sequins meet black tie
stained with pink cotton candy
funky summer love
cold mists carry scent
satisfied in scarlet snow
memories of spring
