Canopy of Leaves
The canopy of shivering leaves
danced the light across her face
Waking up dreams of soft spring days
followed by warm summer nights
each magical in their own way
On their own day
one moment at a time…
Sliding Raindrops
Raindrop slides along side
new bud budding slow
Bare branches soak it in
moisture fat and drippy
• • • •
Contemplating silence
in the midst of drips
and drops and gurgles
Whets imagination
Wets the dry earth
One Day Closer
Little squirrel
was movin’ slow
It was winter
don’tcha know?
Mornin’ sun
called out to him
Look, look squirrel
a new day closer to Spring!
————————————–
Happy Imbolc!
The Rains Came
It was dry and brown
cold to the bones chilled
Everyone chapped and uneasy
And then the rains came
The plants perked up
even amidst grey and soggy
Trees flexed with wintry breezes
Squirrels bundled up
in fluffed up fur
And old dried tears
were washed away
when the rains came…
Falling on Tasty Color
Made of overt color
capable of startling nourishment
through the retina
Banging on the door
of ability to perceive
It literally rocked stable concepts
with inexplicable aplomb
and a spattering of stutters
in shades of gray
——————–
Fed until staggering
by colors and hues
so vibrant, so thick
The taste of them
makes my cheeks curl
Ah, abundance of Autumn!
