Ember in a black
sky, cooling coals below; the
towhee's fiery eye.
Poetry

Death metal screams from
the petite windows of a
coffee-toned Fiat.
05/14/2014 #1
Fermented sunshine
bubbles through its brambled still;
first salmonberry
05/07/2014
Pale cheek burning pink;
what delicate flame dared press
the chestnut's shocked lips?
04/29/2014 #2
A giant frog's feet
frozen mid-leap; the chestnut's
broad green spreading leaves
04/29/2014 #1
Humid breeze streaming
over sharp white stones; pink cave
of the panting dog
04/26/2014
Purple down gloves the
gentle, reaching hand; even
nettles bear flowers.
04/09/2014 #2
White confetti flecked
with pink; cherries cast aside
their coat of petals.
04/09/2014 #1
A scrap of fallen
sky fluttering among the
young dandelions
02/28/2014 #4
Daffodils open
wide yellow eyes; new sunlight
floods the flower bed.
02/28/2014 #3
A flash of emerald
wings; climbing ferns flap back-lit
fronds in rising wind.
02/28/2014 #2
Early flowers pour
from the thin limbs like rusty
water over falls.
02/28/2014 #1
Waves, white with spring's fresh
breath, stampede wildly down the
thundering blue Sound;
Albino bison
shatter their thick bones along
the throbbing red cliffs.
02/18/2014
Storm and dark deride
the day. The sun blows a kiss;
both boys run away.
02/15/2014
Pussy willow's best
buds; gray owlets in first fuzz
share a barren branch.
02/14/2014
Waxy bubbles burst
in red cascades; peony
explodes in blossom.
02/12/2014 #2
Patine bronzed by
winter's malice; copper bark
in want of polish
02/12/2014 #1
Two days free from snow
and ice, a plucky yellow
crocus springs to life.
02/10/2014
Today's wind grips the
cedars like a two-year-old
petting her new cat.
02/09/2014
Plot twists on a blank
page; interwoven tracks, cat
and raccoon, in snow
