miniature golf
or minor league baseball?
take the boat out
or ride our bikes?
we have zoo brew tonight —
that’s a no-brainer!
so many splendid options
for such a gorgeous day ~
decisions, decisions

sunflowers
your bright happy faces,
your persistence of blooms!
mood lifter. smile giver.
I shall plant you forever
in my small, humble garden.

cool morning
spring’s prism promises
my sweet orange
kalanchoe petals

novice
she thinks in terms of color,
texture, line and symmetry
though she’s drawn, sometimes,
to the charm of the asymmetrical.
she sees an image in her mind,
then tackles the brush, the paper,
her watercolor paints
as she endeavors to create
a happy infusion of heart & mind,
hands & soul & the subtle curiosity of sight.
curse of the inner ear
vertigo creeps in before dawn
moon shining through my transom window
shadowed leaves of the maple tree
tilt and spin, wave after wave after wave
riverine
succulent skies
pale pinks, lush lavenders
we draw our water
from a deep, deep well
with my own two hands
laundered quilt,
heavily draped over deck rail
unqualified spring color
that somehow feels just right
the excavation
gloved fingers
toss stones aside
dull razor claws
the canvas layer
mud clumps tip
of rounded spade
I wrench fresh babes
from tangled domiciles,
relocate each one
to its new home
