sleeping beauties
their blooms await
the sun’s awakening kiss
Hunting
concentrated stillness
the stalking
of sunshine
Missive of Love
the red of the barn
ablaze in the February sun
landscape’s valentine
On the Stoop
black cat and pink pumpkin
wait for halloween’s
ringing of the doorbell
Blaze
basking in
the autumn sun
colorful blaze of dahlia days
Sunflowers
beaming in the hot sun
best beheld from the cool
depths of woodland shade
Beneath The Palisades
barn catches
the morning sun
another beginning begun
Darkness in the Light
lantern’s speck of light
trusted guide
on a dark day
Summer Home Solstice
in the kindness
of June’s gentle sun
babies feather and iris bloom
Restoration
balm to sorrow
the earth smiles
sunshine and flowers
Morning Song
robin
in the garden bed
fundamental joy
One of a Scurry
chin scratch
bare patch
April molt
Declared
sun shoulders out the snow
last years blooms trumpet
beauty’s determination
Keeping
pickets bravely attempt
to keep the sunshine
in the winter yard
Other Side
just before the hard frost
the grass is at its greenest
a promise to meet us
on the other side of winter
Trio
waiting for the cornfield to be mowed
bovine beauties bask
in the last of Indian summer’s sun
Last Song
late blooms sing
a yellow serenade
to summer and her sunshine
Basking
tiny toad
on a wild lily leaf
soaking up the sun
Fuchsia Daisy
stealing the garden scene
from her same named sister
beaming centers of sunshine
Dandelion Rain
if the sun came like rain
dandelions would be its drops
Sunshine and Blue
immortal spring
emerges
from winter’s vestige
Rest
leaf buds rest
gathering strength
from sunshine and rising sap
Embers
last year’s leaves
embers of sunshine
defying the cold
Ray
a ray of sun
the yellow barn
in a cold field
River Run
freed by the sun
the river runs
Sparkler
The garden displays
its colorful fireworks
beneath the sun.
Cluster
Tiny buds
huddle together soaking up sun
gathering the power to flower.
Rising
The sun’s warming rays
reach the depths of the pond
summoning fish to the surface.
Old Man Frost
leaves his whiskers behind
when he runs through the woods
chasing moonbeams and sunshine.
Morning Tree
First light pierces through
the nocturnal shade
and reveals one more summer’s day.
