Fell swoop

Birds in the springtime —
daredevilish in their quest
songful in their survival —
weightless wings — heavy risk

flowers are fragrant metaphors —
happy colors sing “carpe diem!”
wilting whispers “memento mori.”

Ever-changing

2025 March 17th2009 July 4th

Why do I love clouds? You can’t save a cloud as you can save a leaf or a flower or a rock — clouds are now! Clouds are the carpe diem of nature.

Blend & blur

2025 March 17th2020 January 28th

late winter and early spring blend and blur
in pleasant days and chilly nights
penetrating sun and gentle cool breezes
with stirrings of life, subtle and green —
mornings that light ever earlier rouse us, but
sunsets that still come in evening’s youth lull

autumn leaves rustle
the tension out of me
on pleasant breezy days
sunlit gentle tree, i am
a ragdoll under your sway

Wingèd workaholic

2025 July 11th2006 October 1st
  yellow-striped bee
  what do you see
  inside perfumed flowers?

  soul or sex or color
  food & imminent honey
  or just a job to be done?

  intoxicating pollen
  fragrant petals
  jewels of every hue?

  is it that what’s wild for us
  is just cubicle walls to you?

Spring is a lively swing towards summer
Summer is a hot salsa towards autumn
Autumn is an elegant ballet towards winter
Winter is a slow waltz towards spring
