Liquid Mirrors Lie


Road is shiny moist;
Layers of gray clouds above;
Electric wires hum.












On the maple tree
Plastic bottles hang for sap;
Play rope hangs nearby.

Coming round the bend--
Pick up truck with tires whooshing;
Dim lights in the mist.







Clear drops on branches
Hanging precariously;
Small dog wants to play.










Liquid mirrors lie
Reflecting the trees above them;
Road water glistens.













Hill's receding snow
Reveals bottles, cans, cartons:
Man's embellishments.

Honking from the pond
Loud goose signals to others:
"Found a landing place."












Banged, bent, and beaten
Garbage can sits on the driveway;
Did it deserve this?












Sign says it clearly:
"Rassing Rictly Forbidden";
Nature's editor.
