winks

blink, blink, twinkle, blink
firebug flies and lightning winks
blink, blink, twinkle, blink

Firelight

Embers glowing orange
White-hot streaks smolder in deep
triumph and defeat.

Autumn Introspective

Autumn crisp and clean
peaceful tranquil reflections
pine-fresh, fragrant scene.

*revised November 2012

Fields of Grain

Golden prairie sea
gently sways with sun-soaked breeze
rich restless beauty.

Silver Storms

Silver ships collide
their moonlit caps froth and foam
creatures skip along

Silver trumpets blast
the air snaps its sonic charge
and sails billow wide

Water creatures groan
wretched with their labor
roaring to full height

Silver tsunami
in the quiet of the night
capsizes the moon

Mirror

Fathomless glass pools

Casting truth's light on my prose

Reflecting my soul

Love Whispers

Of native passion

We do ourselves meet

Tender sweeps upon fierce heat

The Wind

Overtures sound as
Mother Nature sighs
Hollow rushes willows weep

Red, Red Universe

Red, red universe
Soft scarlet swirls simplify
the essence of life

Storm Clouds

the dark buccaneer

sails the thund'rous horizon

on its tall cloud ship

Swans

Swans are beautiful
passing their time in silence
elegant in grace.

Solitary Pen

Solitary pen

singular comprehension

dark angry black stains

Giving its life blood

translating melancholy

primal on a page

Deep well of sadness

to quench the languishing thirst

in ink now resides
