beside the highway:
fueling for journey.

from clustered Cherry Blossoms;

-- sheltered by boulders --
on stony ground.

Cherry trees of Early Spring:
some blooms blush, some not.

Troubled Bridge [Free Verse]

Photograph of a railway bridge over the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Iron skeleton
spans the water.

Weeds sprout from ties,
rust eats its way under
flaking paint & over
rivet heads.

I remember the whistle's blow,
a long, long time ago.

Locus [Common Meter]

One clump of flowers has the power
To lure the eye’s focus.
The background blurs as mind infers
Which hue shall be the locus.
