Branch

Branch breaks as a bird
Lands, it falls like a stone till
Beating wings give lift.

The Sun

Sun-washed waving
Wheat whirling in thee wind - light
Shows hundreds of hues.

Beauty

As she rolls over
In bed the rain drops applaud
On the window sill.

WInds

Winds whips grass and brush
Into whirling dervishes while
Trees stand still and quiet.

Sharpens the shadows edge till
It's gone with the dew.

Ancient flute of bone
Pale white whispering wings of a
Mute swan cut with stone.

Ruins

Ruins rest on dry plains
Sun burnt grass, brush, and blown sands
Near it's sun burnt walls.

Overcast Summer Day

A chickadee glides
Beneath ponderous pillows
Hinting at Summer.

Dry Grass

Grass dries in the summer
Sun baked bricks tumble down
Tipped by arid winds.

Wall

Light floods white washed
Walls of stone. Rainbows stains dance
Over the edges.

Wild Bunch

Mustard in wild bunches
Runs off, over the fence line
Into the tall corn.

A brownie box camera
Summer memories.

A Table for One

Just set the table
One plate, a chipped cup, a knife
All alone, at home.

Today Mr. Paige will take the mound
In dusty Des Moines.

Dark wreaths, white crosses, grassy fields,
Poppies on lapels.

on a glass patio table
Invites summers dawn.

Summer Storm IV

Leaves spin light to dark
Like fishing lures in the water
Rabbits stop. Stillness.

Summer Storm III

Leaves spin in the wind
Flip light to dark on spider limbs
An Invitation.
