Yearning for Spring's Warm Sun

 

bulb garden

yearns for spring’s

warm sun

White-Out

not a leaf  

to be seen  

white-out  

Crows Chatter

 

crows chatter

in their own language

bird brains

Prowling in the Moonlight

 

cat and his shadow  

prowling in the moonlight  

night hunter  

Out of Darkness

 

out of darkness

daffodil touches the light-

early spring present

Photo of indoor spring garden that I purchased for myself, albeit months too early. I should’ve waited until April.

In the Garden of Life

 

I am here

in the garden of life

powered by the sun

generously watering

and tending both

buds and bristles

New Snowfall

 

as snow falls

a kaleidoscope of whites

dance in the air

~~~~

from the window

watching the snow fall-

cat jumps down

~~~~

statues in the snow
silently stand ten feet apart
‘til bus arrives

~~~~~

hoping for

5 inches of new snowfall -

snowshoes await

Rainbow of Colors

rainbow of colors

reflect in each raindrop

diamonds hang from the tree

Journeyers Destination

 

crunch of each step  

journeyers destination  

lies ahead  

January Hikers

 

January hikers  

watch the snow melt  

deer tracks  

Vertical Lines

 

vertical lines-

friends forest bathing

among wintering trees

The Getaway Gal pals and I finally found time on our calendars to be together. I needed a “forest fix.”

Imposing Jaywalkers

 

seven turkeys  

parade down city streets  

imposing jaywalkers  

Monochrome Mood

 

freezing fog  

paints the landscape white  

monochrome mood  

~~~  

motionless snow’s  

serene flakes on bare branches  

silence of the wind 

Bedroom Moments

 

bedroom moments  

mornings when we three  

cuddle together  

waiting to see  

who gets up first  

*  

This poem reminds me of a conversation that I had with Dan Poe about “the mundane.”  

Today, I hold these moments so dear, because someday, someone may be missing. 

Fairy Dust

 

fairy dust  

falls magically from the sky  

flutter of sparrows 

As Snow Falls

 

as snow falls

a kaleidoscope of whites

dance in the air

watching the snow fall-

cat jumps down

Birth of a New Poem

 

white ... blankets

the soul and the soil

births a new poem

In Your Absence

 

forgive me

in your absence it’s chai tea

instead of earl grey
