These trees wear their limbs
like curly haired twins.
Stand of Birch
Their feet close together
the birch stand shoulder to shoulder
weathering all seasons.
Ridge
Just over the ridge
reside my dreams of Spring.
Leafy trees and blooming things;
the sun’s warm embrace, kisses on my face.
Morning Moon
Like a sweet dream that lingers
the morning moon spies me through the trees
bestowing well wishes for the day.
Outlines
Nature traced the line of every branch and limb.
She favors highlights in white.
Freezing Reflection
The ice erases
the sky and trees
as it creeps across the pond.
Wasp Nest
The masters of paper machê
built their condo in the trees
and displayed leaf flags.
Swarm
Like a swarm of bees looking for their hive
yellow leaves flutter and buzz in the breeze.
Limbs and Leaves
A knot of limbs.
A web of leaves.
The forest is a tapestry.
