Flicker in the Light

Bright sun but no heat;
A touch of Spring in the trees;
Flicker in the light.


At the edge of snow--
Brown earth like a river bank
Pushes like a wave.










Snow shovel Buddha
Sits silently on my porch.
Alfred kisses mom.












Icy winter wind
Seeps through the snowless field;
Somewhere a dog barks.



Could it be more blue
The crystalline sky today?
The sun be brighter?










Wayward crumpled hat
That's lying by the road side
Is missing a head.










On the sunny side
Woods are devoid of all white;
Other side--snowbound.








Brown dead evergreen
Leans against the vibrant fir--
Trees for all seasons.
