it seems it is
the river bend that
brings us spring
Slowly On Her Way To Us
At The Center
the heart
of the farm
the red barn
Wind Break
even without leaves
still slowing the wind
the ceaseless work of trees
On The Farm
in August
the sky is in a hurry
while the corn takes it’s sweet time
February Narcissus
winter gazed
upon her own reflection
in the river
Long Winter Days
when seemingly
nothing is happening
spring’s new world is gestating
Morning Paradox
dawn’s delicacy
belies
the bitter cold
Pink Dawn
the magic
of dreams
still within reach
The Fields Green
verdantly
spring takes hold
birch raise their chartreuse flag
Making Beds, Changing Sheets
white sheets of snow
pulled back
from the field beds
Field Music
quartet
of snow
early winter sung
Grand Plans
inside
the tiny house
plotting planting season
Long View
a brief reprieve
this glimpse of grass
inside snow’s grasp
The Four Fields
those two couples
our friendship weathers
seasons and years
Time’s Labor
clouds and sun
snow’s toe hold of cold
all cultivating spring
Tentative
first snow
a little shy
to be dropping by
Up In The Hay Loft
rest
in the lap
of summer
Commencement
inspired by the field
hardwoods commence their leafing
as the landscape sighs in green
Marker
by the neighbor’s
four fields
I navigate home
Out In Back
summer lolled
on the August lawn
luxuriating
Day Break
banishing another night
day burns bright
Distant Fields
off in the distance
a four square
of snow filled fields
Lupin
flower of the roman empire
conquers fields
with abundant seed
Seepage
long river
creeps over her banks
occupying low lying fields
Long River
fertile fields reside
along the river’s sides
Wardrobe Change
When the grass greens
it’s nearing the time to take off
your winter coat.
Corn Field
Leafless trees dream
of growing rows in full fields
Profusion
More beauty than the eye can hold,
enough to lift the soul.
Forsythia
Before the sky is reliably blue
before the fields have greened
forsythia champions Spring.
Dormant
Four fallow fields full of snow
hold their place on the mountain side
patiently waiting for Spring to arrive.
