October sunlight
Strains through billowy clouds
Stains the leaves yellow.

Sand & Shells

Sand and tiny shells
Beneath the cliff where the lake
Luffs like a scooner's sail.

Cave Point

On a tall black cliff
Waves cracking on its face send
Spray to caress mine.

Whistling Straits

Fields of pale ecru
Grass surround splashes of bright green
Where winds whip the flag.

Sun Floods

A brilliant sun floods
The wheat filled plain below
As dawn sneaks on up.

Rushing

A Small rushing creek
Drops so quickly down the hill
It knocks you over.

NoonSun

In the noon sun on
A hand rail of a foot bridge
Alone heron stands.

Cool Autumn

Cool autumn winds will
Whisper all the afternoon
About time passing.

Weary Walker

A weary walker
Drifts down the lane looking for
Escape or a ride.

Morning Sun

Morning sun lower
Then yesterday and higher
Then tomorrow, Fall.

Hairs

Hairs stand up in cold
Air as we pause in the sun
Feeling the warmth.

Fire Trucks

a fleet of fire trucks
Hooked a left past the house
Sirens tease me out.

Windows

Windows wet with rain
Frame fields of new corn standing
Silent sentinels.

Pick-up

Across a prairie
Beneath a steel grey sky rolls
A rusty pick-up.

Formal Garden

A formal garden
Rows of roses ripped by racing
Winds, let petals fly.

Fire Baked

Fire baked red clay
Lies beneath tall charred trees
Where black soot settles.
