Marsh

sun-lit grass grows roots 

in stagnant pool, spreads the marsh

in circular growth

 

Tall Grass

despite winter's freeze 

tall grass and cat tails rise up

sunlight's spectral sheen

 

Early Moon

lone pearl preens, vain, bold

fades in the sun's gold splendour

waits for night to glow

 

Light and Shadow

Light breaks out shadows

they clash till drab blocks crumble

with positive views

 

Sunlight

golden circles sway

over sluggish, sunken rocks

surface gems lie deep

 

Duck to Water

content on the slosh

 paddling on waves of sun lines 

from the flock's vision

 

Reflected Tree

hardened tree loosens

dances in reflected waves

arcane deliverance

 

Snow Play

snow play, carefree fun

winter's cool, diverting spell

mercy from the storm

 

Snowfall

veil of snow swathes all

in diaphanous chiffon

secretive, mystic

 

Tree and Bench

towering pine's bench

through each season's aches and joys

waits to comfort us
