formal garden
confines created
to illuminate abundance
Stitched
snow threads
through thistle needles
quilting winter
Bittersweet
in iced sunlight
brightness sweetens
the bitter cold
Luminary
snowing light
the maple tree’s
luminosity
Tentative
first snow
a little shy
to be dropping by
Barely There
colors
soon a memory
landscape’s bones laid bare
Portrayal
designed by time
colors and lines
fallen fall
Four Fields
the spirit farmer’s
ephemeral harvest
is autumn light
Shadow Bloom
backdrop of self
the play of light and shadow
a double bloom
Birch Brush
summer drawn
with wind and water
moving while still
Efforts of Ice
sedulous winter
tries again and again
to make the cold hold
Collection
gathered
sunlight and stripes
abundance of gourds
Crisp
autumn light
chisels colors
out of the blue
Day Unveiled
morning crosses the river
sunlight lapping at my feet
Undecided
heron on the lawn
elusive guest
unsure of hospitality
Blaze
basking in
the autumn sun
colorful blaze of dahlia days
Paradox
uncertainty embraced
calm ensues
amidst chaos
Disambiguation
frozen pond
winter travels on
long shadows
Fluid
last of the green leaves
make a watery autumn departure
