Corner Crop

The last daytime sky
Of the year twenty nineteen
Bluest of all blues

Warm Winter Afternoon

Loblolly shadows
Across the lawn and driveway
Long, lean, and silent

Fungi Kingdom 16

Red and white mushrooms
Growing after winter rain
I have much to learn

Be Safe, Small One

What happened to you
Warbler, little pine warbler
Why dont you fly off

Primordial

Born in the darkness
Seeking light from within drain
Intrepid fern spore

Horsey Whinney

Robin's alarm call
Something's up in the Wayback
Gray and white cat.

Art in the Round

A fallen knothole
On the path to the Wayback
Lichened and mossy

Lesson From Nature

Despite large cracked limb
Old cherry tree carries on
And blooms every spring

Three Theories

Dead worm in puddle
When the garage door opened
Appeared to be drowned

Why earthworms surface
After rain is a matter
Of differing thought

1. To avoid drowning
2. To migrate more easily
3. Fear of predators

I'm no scientist
But the first seems most likely
Oldest idea

Longest Night Service

One dark rainy day
After the one longest night
Of the year and heart

Anguish of music
At once performed and received
Flute to universe
