The chair and the goat:
Chair is empty, so is goat.
Goat takes care of it.

The dogs have started;
They just can't seem to shut up.
Must be a syndrome.









Spider web in field
Catches sun and drops of water.
Where will it put them?

Gnarled tree bends over;
Is it the three mailboxes
Pulling it to earth?

Behind some tall flowers
Small pink bicycle is parked;
Its owner at school.












Single leaf falling
Shaken by the gentle breeze;
Avalanche to come.

Deep inside the woods
A rifle booms out again
Shattering silence.












Layers on layers
Fungus settles in the tree--
Natural sculpture.

Round and bristly
Some patient clusters of burrs
Wait for some fur.
