orange-fringed
dark clouds drift in blue skies
just before dusk.

Spring Swerve [Free Verse]
Spring can swerve.
White patches,
holdouts from yesterday's snow,
are melted by today's rains.
Buds no sooner form
than are encased in ice.
No self-respecting Summer
day could bring snow.
Winter won't hatch
a butterfly.
Autumn can't turn
a red leaf back to green.
But Spring can swerve.

Spring glade:
small patch of light blue nests
in a yellow sea.

Ivy & Stone [Free Verse]
There's something relentless
in an old stone wall...
But, also, cold and dead.
One knows it will not stand forever --
that it will go the way of
ruins, rubble, stones, and dust --
but, still, it can outstand any man.
Ivy climbs to camouflage the stone's
cruel deathlessness,
But then the ivy stands on the wall
year after year after year...

Chill Induced Memory [Tanka]
the memory
of an outdoor cafe
at city center
comes to me out of the blue,
on a frigid Winter day.

Silenced by Ice [Haiku]
seedpod rattle
is silenced by ice crust
on Winter branches.
