adding our tracks
to the worn path
alone together
Off We Go
Author: Catherine Arcolio
The Pond Opened For Song
opening ceremony
the joyful croaking chorus
of peepers peeping
Mourning Cloak
you
of brown velvet
supine in sunshine
Mud Season
the earth
so sodden and receptive
even wind leaves footprints
Ducks Readying For Diving
opening the pond by
pecking away
the frozen edges
Spring’s Many Faces
last year’s corn
a stubble on the field’s
greening face
Rainy Morning Hunt
hunger
doesn’t care
about the weather
Behold
each tiny bloom
declaration and celebration
of spring’s return
Breath
snow
departing as vapor
old man winter’s last sigh
The Steel Heron Presides
ah April
with her sunshine and snow
everything waiting to see which way it goes
River Border
the north side
maintains the line
spring seeks to cross
Flow
this is the texture
of time
passing by
Atop The Palisades
evergreens
hold back the sky
from falling over the edge
Some Of Everything
the stillness
and the movement
the decomposing and the growing
BlueBird
a flash of happiness
alighted in the tree
it felt like a reprieve
Breaking Free
verdant with spring
the brook rushes
toward sunlight
The Quiet Constance Of A Cairn
the sun
is always shining
on my memories of you
Stillness And Then Departure
remnants of the wasp nest
disintegrating leaves
upon a bed of departing snow
Flowering Rock
a blush
of pastel pink
a granite bloom
Picture Puzzle
some pieces
are made of
space
