both snow and ice
with water running free
blue sky and clouds jostling
March The Month Of Everything
Skillful Play
they know to slow and cross single file
then resume full tilt running
on the other side
Bellicose Beauty
running wild
with the grapes
scheming bittersweet
Mountain Lupin
purple blue
she-wolf
running wild
The Brook
still running
before cold takes hold
and water stills
Running Brook
still running
the brook flees
winter’s hold
Autumn’s Paint
colors run
in the wild
wet woods
The Migration of Melt
the brook breaks free
and runs for the river
longing to unite with the sea
Run
an unknown is spotted
the white tail flashes
then the blur of disappearing
Broken
the laughter of the running brook
breaks the silence of snow
Jacob’s Brook
water runs to the long river
singing the final refrains of its song
before it is silenced by winter
Cold Creek
The creek moves fast cutting its way
through the meadow towards the river
trying to outrun the inevitable freeze.
