Vignettes

emptying out
a magpie's nest
winter memories

***
how softly 
leaves kiss the dust
still spring 

***

chasing shades
summer noons....of
thirsty birdbaths

***

leaves..........some green
now red.......now brown
how little I know myself

  1. I especially love the last one... the sense of diversity and passing time...

  2. Absolutely beautiful! As well as conveying specific details which add up to a sense of your April, both physically and emotionally.

  4. An amazing collection! I still have chills and I read your poetry slowly, better for digesting thoroughly.

  6. Those birdbaths need attention in preparation for a clean spring and a hot summer's cooling. I like.

  8. Sweetly written. By contrast - the magpies are on the back verandah trying to get, to cajole, a second sitting at the morning feed. Nagpies.

  10. Love them all. But the second one is perfection. I feel the softness, smell the leaves, hear spring sigh...

  11. These are all quite nice, but the last one especially has my heart.
