Two Peaches

Hundreds of peach blooms
Flourished before the late freeze
Now, only two grow

Peach blooms 2015
Full of promise
Peach 1 in 2015
Peach 2

Rain Enough

Rain enough, and more
That Black-bellied Whistling Ducks
Swim across my yard

Two Black-bellied Whistling Ducks swimming in my yard because there has been so much rain

Not too deep, not too shallow, just right

Four Pens

Selecting from the display
Ball points, rollerballs, even gels
Writing haikus on butcher paper
Sampling the viscosity
Pink, blue, purple, white
New pens are fun

Four pens: one pink, one blue, one purple, one white

What to write, what to draw? So many possibilities!

Life Laughs Last

Death’s bleached mask peeks through
Flowers that ignore its claim
Life laughs last, again

A cow skull on a fence post, in the midst of yellow flowers

Life, death, life

Two Twigs

A trunk of a Burr Oak tree with two new twigs starting to grow out, one on each side

Just a rumor

Two Twigs

It’s just a rumor,
Twig said to Twig, that trees grow
Only from the top.
