Lake, Skyline and Mound

placid, the lake flows

between skyline and stone mound

waves to nodding tree

 

Light

Light hugs the cold stones

turns grey to gold, brightens up

tangled reflections

 

Ducks on ice

not on sunny side

perched on winter's glacial patch

the clan's warmth enough

 

Golden Dusk

 

In the glow of love

we fly, soaked in gilded joy

wonder on our wings

A Couple of Trees

natural bonding

majestic flirts with graceful 

resonance mutual

 

Winter of Extremes

winter of extremes

harsh to soft, ice to water

cloudy to sunny

 

Steam Fog on Lake Ontario

warmth brushed with cold turns

into rolling steam, magic

on moving water

 

Commemorative Bench

many will sit here

remembering loved ones gone

dreaming they're present

 

Man and Trees

Tall, tough, they dwarf man

improve air, preserve soil, boost

wild life, nourish us

 

Snowed Bikes

Snowed bikes believe

they and the grass will move soon

they shouldn't trust winter

 

Dancing dots

joy dots our vision

till we focus on clearer

deeper perspective 

 

Lake watch

far out in the clouds

he searches, then feeds the ducks

captures them in shots

 

Reflections

reflections at dusk

out on the lake, lightening

our inner darkness 

 

Snow Covered Trees

flimsy, feathery

sprinkled with white, they stretch up

kiss the lake and sky

 

City Fishing

a thin line is cast 

will the twists of luck win him

a prize from the lake?

 

Snow Fluffs

snow fluffs spill over 

streets, trees, homes in a white daze

slow our hurried steps

 

Between Rocks

between rocks, it lies

a concrete build up of stress

appeased by the lake

Warm Rays of Hope

cold blasts our souls bare

but the sun breaks through the clouds

with warm rays of hope

 

Lunar New Year Lion Dance

Dancing lions shake off 

evil spirits to bring good luck

on Lunar New Year

 

Sun-kissed Swan

graceful, gliding past

others, the sun-kissed swan reigns

assured, contented
