White Frost

White frost disappears
As green grass advances on the
Edge of the forest.

Sprouting

A red tinged sprout
Roused, shoves aside the dirt
To play reveille.

For Rachel

She sits on a rock
Reads "silent Spring" and listens
For the robin's song.

Little by Little

Little by little
A trickle becomes a creek
Then a rushing stream.

The Sting

Cold raw air stings
On the cheek as the shoes sink
In cemetery mud.

Snow Melt

The snow is melting
The mud is squishing under
Foot, a sprout peeks out.

Fog

Wet sloppy fat fog
Clambered across the lawn
and hid the path home.

Forests Disappear

Forests disappear
As fog surrounds the coast line
And swaddles each tree.



March 8, 2010

Crystalline

Crystalline frost fills
The air and settles on grass
Freshly exposed.

Through the Boughs

Through the boughs and branches
Of the bare trees on the hill
Snow gives way to earth.

A Salmon

A salmon jumps high
Water rises javelin like
above the water.

The Sun

The sun cuts bright paths
Through a hardwood forest and
Shadows play on them.

The Sun

The sun drives away
The snow which chased away
The autumn colors.

Green

A large green stripe marches
Across the field dividing
Winter's white armies.

Winter Whistle

Winter's wind whistles
For you to come out and play
Grab your skis and fly!



Febrary 26, 2010

Bright

Bright clear cold winter
With pristine snow. Fall face first
Kiss the snow angel.

Wind Whips

Wind whips swirls of snow
To race along the garden
Wall and down the gate.
