the myriad ways
winter wears white
in snow and ice, birch and cloud
Where observation and imagination meet nature in poetry.
Golden girl of the forest
the birch wears its bark
in a cascade of curls.
This tree wears its bark
like a flapper’s dress.
One of the first appearances of autumn’s finery
is the ruffled fungi in pumpkin and cream.
Dressed to the nines
in sunshine yellow with geometric designs in black
she graciously welcomes all to wander among the flowers.
A harmony of light and dark,
the forest floor wears herringbone.
