Leaf Shadows Tremble




Silhouetted trees--
Portal to the yard beyond;
Bright sun on the lawn.












Hollow rooster's crow

Rings out in the morning light;
Leaf shadows tremble.

Cars with barking dogs;
Bright clumps of purple clover;
Cool breeze on my neck.

How swiftly I change--
Friendly to hostility;
When they don't wave back.












In the dark lush woods

Sun lights up the base of trees
In utter silence.

A metal guide rail
Curls around a sprig of green--
Impromptu bouquet.

Morning dew diamonds
Sparkle on a thousand leaves.
Soon they will be gone.

My first fuzzy bear
Crawls its way along the road.
Has somewhere to go.
