Red

Behind the mottled
Leaves of the tomato, fruit
Ripens, a red globe.

Corn

A field of tall corn
A fawn stands for the first time
Two stalks sway mid field.

Shore Line

Along the shore line
Once rigid reeds weave and bob
Evading the wind.

Patio

On our patio
A bevy of black-Eyed
Susans surround us.

A Lone Wasp

Alone wasp flys by
A second story window
A buzzes the red brick.

A View

Look out the window
A landscape in flat tempera
Colors, child-like bright.

A Sandhill Crane

A sandhill crane stoops
A top an office building
Surveying the scene.

Saw Grass

Smell the steamy saw
Grass lying lazily in the
Mud after the rain.

High Above

High above the glen
Sailed a white bird, a crane
Gliding on the winds.

August

An August morning
Wet and steamy. Temperature
Rises. Birds fly away.

Butterflies

Butterflies skirt the
Herb garden border, posing
As a small flower.



August 5, 2010

Humid

Today in air so
Thick it could be cut with a
Knife, I swam to work.

Lightening Strikes

Lightening strikes twice
In a field of drying hay
Smelling of ozone.


August 3, 2010

Constant

Constant unmoving skies
Sit over a still valley
Filtering the sun.


August 2, 2010

A Light Breeze

A light breeze rounds the
Corner, shivering sails at
Ease on the main mast.

Lazy Fly

A lazy fly spins
Around the patio, the
Heat wilting his wings.



July 27, 2010

Slow soak

Slow soaking showers
Reach roots and rise up the trunk
To plump perfect plums.
