the roof of leaves
kaleidoscoping light
magic in the outside room
Pergola
The House Next Door
amongst the trees
their roof sheltering unknown
happinesses and heartbreak
To Be Counted On
morning is a certainty
the colors of her sky
an eternal mystery
Wistful Windows
I see a longing
in the barns’ window eyes
unsure if it is theirs or mine
Hearts Abound
seed pods and sugar houses
share the same wish
love, love, love
Through The Woods
you will find
their snowy roof
and Christmas pine
Each Part Relies On The Other
straight
stands the chimney
in the wobbly roofed structure
Trio Of Pairs
sunshine clapboards and goldenrod
pink hibiscus and joe pye weed
shingled roofs with pine needles
Like A Tattered Flag
the barn endured
dutifully
despite the wear
At The Homestead
the farm stand
the house and the barn
a trinity of roofs
Standing Seam
on the south side
winter zig zags
towards spring
Moving Pictures
the day
unfurls itself
between the fence rails
Bus Stop
parked
in perpetuity
museum of school days
Barn Roof
nestled together
hip to hip
ridge and pitch
Snowed Inn
no reservations needed
come on in and roost
beneath the snowy roof
Rainy Day Music
rain plays
on tin roofs
symphony for birds
Home to Roost
place for all
on the roof ridge perch
line of lineage
Patchwork
barn roof’s<br />
quilted covering<br />
pieced together
Married
the roof is meadow of moss
a common law marriage
of structure and elements
Holding On
The hand of Winter holds tight to the roof
its icicle fingers curled under the eve.
