thundering hooves —
rainstorms gallop
across the roof

thundering hooves —
rainstorms gallop
across the roof

spring cleaning . . .
all the washed windows
sparkle
with
morning rain
.
.
cloud after cloud after cloud
falling drops
of shimmering rain
.
.
the darkest nights
voices beyond the universe
calling my name
.
.
early spring morning
searching for rainbows —
all the colored easter eggs
.
.
unfound easter eggs
garden rabbit’s
Sunday lunch
.
.
dark moonless night
fireflies dance
across the sky
.
.
nature’s gifts
softly through the window screen
the smell of spring rain
.
art supplies —
replacing old paints
all the colors of spring
.
.
dark spring night
moonlight shimmers
in puddles of rain
.
.
breezy days
using extra clothespins
all the tangled laundry
.
.
early spring songs
the sound of
busy bumblebees
.
.
flitting and hiding
in fluffy white clouds
all the words
for new haiku
.
.
spring canopy
little green buds decorate
leafless trees

Sequoia sunrise
sneaking through the pines
morning’s golden glow

Sequoia sunrise
sneaking through the pines
morning’s golden shine
.
.
morning rain
spring sneaking in
between the drops
.
.
bamboo chimes and singing bells
I can feel our love
dancing in the wind
.
.
spring tease
tiny buds
on leafless trees
.
.
moonlight —
the shadows
of leafless trees
.
.
morning tea
waiting for nothing
sun cat
.
.
spring rain
nestled in the houseplants
a ladybug
.
.
shining stars
sing songs of love —
even apart
our hearts touch
in their glow
.
.
reaching for you, my love
in the deep of night,
our love wrapped
in a shining glow
singing the songs of stars
.
.
a million million years
I’ll be waiting far beyond
to be with you again, my love
.
.
waiting for daybreak
the silence
when even cars sleep
.
.
the birth of color —
with the rising sun
salmon pinks
fill the sky
.
.
through oak-trimmed windows
fluffy white couds
drift
across
a cobalt sky
.
.
city life
earthbound skylights
swish an eraser
acrpss the stars
.
.
full moon
everywhere the glimmer
of crystal ice
.
.
modern dictionaries
overflow with made-up words:
amirite?
.
.
break of day
goldem sun peeks
over the horizon
.
.
our old neighborhood
only daddy’s pine trees left —
businesses moved in
.
.
young forest elf
high in the oaks
learning to speak
the language of trees
.
.
day and night
there is only emptiness —
the need to touch you again
.
.
skies streaked crimson red
the earth turns
into the edge of night
.
.
sending my love
in ancient languages
through giant Sequoia trees
.
.
so lost without you
midnight darkness
folds me into itself
.
.
always my center
on a gold chain
against my heart
your wedding band
.
.
Valentine’s Day —
my husband’s love shining
in the Milky Way
.
.
on being a widow . . .
–
another empty
Valentine’s Day — my heart yearns
forever for you
v2
another empty
Valentine’s Day — my heart yearns
only for you
