Bright flecks of sunlight;
Shy purple rhododendron
All in my front yard.








Clouds and sun play tag;
Buttercups shine anyway;
Hens cluck and chuckle.









Background stream music;
Patches of talk from a house;
Silent shadows fall.

Chatting with neighbor
Next to his magic moss lawn;
We are happy guests.









On the dark dirt path
Green glistening reflections:
A small mud puddle.

Serrated and green
Fern bouquet unfolds in the woods;
Slight breeze shakes the leaves.


Pastel violet blooms;
Soft unfolding mullein leaves;
Unceasing bird chirp.












Part of the tree now
Old phone book wedged in the limbs;
Wood to wood. Amen!
