day emerged
leisurely
from its foggy sleep
On The Terrace By The Connecticut
river rushes by
flowers take
their time
Projection
reflection
already where
canoes want to be
Stars In The River
galaxies
wash up
on the shore
Three Canoes
place holder
for our reentry
into the wild world
All The Time In The World
shadows
telling time
no need to hurry
Fluidity
water never tires
of the temperature’s
perpetual requirement of readjustment
Eyelet River
lacing the surface
cold threading
shore to shore
Creation
amidst snow
and fading light
the river abstracted
Suspension
first flurry
winter whispers
the world is hushed
Dahlia in the Daises
bright blooms
autumn afternoons
departing soon
Signs
sacred arrow
points
toward destiny
Freedom
deep green
afternoon
light blue canoe
Hierarchy
at the river bend
triumvirate of hollyhock
bow to the current
River Moon
in the frozen river
resides the moon’s
mysterious landscape of light
The Change Space
mysteries of the space
in between the thing
and how it is seen
River Wilds
leopard spots
zebra stripes
camouflage of ice
River Frosted Pine
river cold
reaches up
frosting from below
Water’s Way
freeze and thaw
and shifting drifts
all leaning into life
A Lingering
red canoe
a memory
of summer’s kiss
Winter Abstraction
storm’s contemplation
each flake a memory
and time reorganized
River Birch In Snowfall
the quieting white
shrouds
December’s last days
Reading the Forested Landscape
October morning
the landscape’s poem
told in color and light
Green Mountain State
at the inlet
awash in green
wind and current confer
Good Morning
morning graze
the river flows
and songbirds serenade
Alternate Days
taking turns with sunshine
grey skies and rain drops
encourage the greening landscape
The Day Rose Softly
the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks
Telling Time
river silt
the tide’s clock
chimes in ripples
Waiting Red Canoe
her reflection swims
a memory
of last summer’s youth
Steps
carry your troubles
down to the river
wash them away
