wind and rain
have rinsed my world
autumn’s palette now returned
Counterclockwise The Weather Turns
Fragile Blue
winter day
a robin’s egg sky
nests in the trees
Forest Bones
time’s skeleton
the sun bleached bones
of prodigious trees
A Mirror Of Self
mapping the roots
the branches
shadow
Berry Beautiful
autumn sets her table
for woodland creatures
with delicious decorations
Fairies Autumn
mostly fall is raucous color
but at a small enclave near the brook
shy leaves blush hues of pink
Right Behind Us
perched in bare branches
just over his shoulder
is autumn then winter
Hearing Hooves
the sound of branches
breaking in the woods
that’s the stallion running in
Old Barn First Witness
a clapboard background to
the enduring rite of spring
sunshine as forsythia
Costume Jewelry
ice makes diamonds
when snow becomes raindrops
the sparkle is of rhinestones
The Woods Still Hold Snow
winter’s grip
of blue cold
loosened by fern fronds
Housing Crunch
treehouse
with an in-law apartment
and rental unit
Welcomed
the softness
and mysterious white light
oh to be enveloped in silence
All Those Times Of Reaching Out
each one mattered
even now
with the limbs foreshortened
Woodland Expression
shadows and the softness
given by distance
deliver an abstracted woods
Far Away And High
insistently
you knock
drawing my eye
Accumulation Of Stillness
silent now
like a walk
in the clouds
From Above
reprieved from freezing
a sun warmed soup
of autumn’s leaves
The Overseer
watching
the weather at work
changing the season
Like Honey
luminous autumn light
sticks to every
leaf and twig
You
one among many
blooming
in common splendor
Lonely For Spring
the wind
still has no leaves
to speak with
Budding Young Artist
spring’s canvas
is the landscape
growth is her medium
Awaiting The Security Of Leaves
the nest
hidden
even when revealed
Hope Held
the woods do
dream in snow
heaping hope on branches
The Spark Of Tiny Berries
a glee of color
evidence
of nature’s joy
Botanical Print
lingering leaves
a curtain
of light
Briefly
before
the season of snow
the season of shadows
Terraced Textures
each level
luxuriating
in light
Keeping Watch
turned towards
the north and south
eyes keen for change
