the light
busy spinning
scrub brush into gold
Woodland Rumpelstiltskin
I Came Across
a woodland shrine
of birch bark and mushroom
with a fern leaf offering
humble and holy
Woodland Tapestry
all the movement
and colors of fall
woven into this moment
Berry Beautiful
autumn sets her table
for woodland creatures
with delicious decorations
At Winter’s Door
wood elves
hang their hats
on the birch
Chosen
a halo
adorns the mountain
we are blessed
Talking Sticks
the insects path
tell
the woodland’s story
Demure
unaccustomed to attention
woodland trillium
blushes
The Woods
still at rest
lichen
the only green
Woven Woods
embellished woodland tapestry
with bullioned pinecone
embroidery
Stand Out
spotlight of sun
backdrop of woodland shade
flowering stalk takes a star turn
Happen By
colors sang
old songs of joy
for all who happened by
Scripture
holy writ
the leaf stem
records woodland days
Sunflowers
beaming in the hot sun
best beheld from the cool
depths of woodland shade
Woodland Haiku
The woodpecker leaves
his poetry on birch bark.
Trillium
Star of the woodland
offers a sacred trinity
in flower petals and leaves.
