the leaf a living canvas
of shape and form
color and texture
Abstract On Leaf
Swishing At Flies
nose deep
in sweet grass
the tail comforts
while duty waits
The Particular Disposition Of Winter
a storm assembles
in the woods
the weight and shape of cold
The Desires Of Details
the colors of new leaves
and their unfolding shapes
devising a composition of spring
Origami
fold lines
sharp on the leaf
making mountains
Purity Of Line
a rise
and fall
of color and form
Late Bloom
in counterpoint
to fall’s exuberance
The Garden’s Shape Emerges
spring begins
with a kaleidoscope
of greens
Bones and Softness
fully
inhabited self
contradiction consummated
Time’s Sculpture
every edge
sharpened by cold
carving it’s shape into air
Frost and Light
every shape
made known
outlines and outliers
Unity
branch mirrors
the horse’s shape
all is one
The Trees Abstracted
water offers
a reflective reminder
of life’s fragile fluidity
The Great Pumpkin
emanating the light of the moon
no need for a knife to free its face
its spirit rises from the shape
Space
Solace can often be found
in the space between.
