Water Over the Dam

Artificial rumbles
Tumble from man-made pond
We think we have control
But it is all illusion

Reading While Driving
_____________________________________
You in the Prius on the highway
I’m so glad you’re going my way
Your stickers gave me smiles
To know kindred spirits share the miles

Mystery
_____________________________________
Walked up to some steps to nowhere
Figuring they must go somewhere
Do I find out or imagine?
Will it be familiar to me
Or make me want to turn and flee?
Will they lead to wealth or ruin?
Will they lead to sadness or joy?
Will they entertain or annoy?
Nothing left to do but begin.

Pulchritude
_____________________________________
Pulchritude seems the perfect word,
Coarse and lumpy and hard,
To describe the scaly, flakey
Exfoliating, peeling, warty
Beauty of the bark of a tree.

Turkeys
On a spring walk
A few Toms, lots of hens
Toms showing off, hens don’t notice
Fresh bright green grass seems more interesting
Toms strut their stuff with their tails up
Under clear bright blue skies
Hens seek different
Turkeys

Was mouse in awe of view
From the claw as hawk flew?

Beauty Comes from All Angles
_____________________________________
We
Need to
Focus on
Admiring
The backs of flowers
Delighting in beauty
From every single angle
Exploring glory tucked away
As well as the grace sent skyward
Slyly distracting from all the splendor.

Making Tracks
_____________________________________
Early morning I go
Into deep snow
Traversing woods aglow
Wondering what is below
Grateful the going is slow
Appreciating the show.

Blithe
Boulder
Wearing a
New white hat of
Snow

In Like A Lion
_____________________________________
Calendar says spring
But it’s still snowing
A vernal foot has fallen
The flakes weigh so much
Folks complain and such
Likely praying for pollen
*
Not me though, I’m thrilled
A snowman I’ll build
Snow any time of the year
Produces such joy
Others I annoy
As I let out a loud cheer.
