color blooms
on the clothesline
the garden always giving
Winter Outerwear
the forest
wears a brocade cape
of leaves and fruit and vines
Woven Woods
embellished woodland tapestry
with bullioned pinecone
embroidery
Finery
the woods
dress in their finery
fall’s tapestry of leaves
Tie Dye
ancient art
magenta and chartreuse
on a fabric of life
January Yards
a veil of mist
a curtain of crabapples
the fabric of winter
kheer aur shakkar
during the final days
of summer’s heat
the hosta wears seersucker
Herringbone
A harmony of light and dark,
the forest floor wears herringbone.
