On Record

Since 1890
Wettest and warmest winter
It's raining again

From the Ground Up

The yard glows with a
Silver light twice reflected
Full moon at midnight

Unsurprising Surprise

In the compost heap
A celery stub took root
And grew in a day

~dkm 232/365

Cool Breath and Sunny

Finally, after
exactly three months of clouds
Celebrate this day

Backyard Path 3/a

Come to the Wayback
with me. Sit and meditate
Gomukhasana

Cow face yoga pose

Birdsong in Endless Rain

Return me to sleep
Early morning lullaby
Only one bluebird

The One Branch

One cherry tree limb
Always the same lower limb
Blooms first every year

~dkm 228/365

Despite His Vigilance

Self preservation
Dandelion versus Moe
Behold the beauty

~dkm 227/365

Nature vs Civilization

Green moss, grass, and weeds
Ignoring humanity
Grown over rain grate

Fifteen years hidden
Till one hard rain flooded the
clogged drain and lowspot

Moss, dislodged, revealed
cast iron grate, only to
regrow in next ten

Unrewarded Search

Unlike calls I know
to be common around here
Came one bold and shrill

New and sharp and loud
No luck on Chirp USA
No google for sounds

Can hear but not see
Acadian Flycatcher?
Migrating northward?
