reflected sun viewed twixt
bristled seedpod clusters.

leaves have dropped;
reflected sun viewed twixt
bristled seedpod clusters.

the turning leaves
catch the morning sunlight
to show depths of red.

ducks drift lazily
on water that sparkles
with winter sunlight.

ripples radiate
from unseen sources
on the calm lake.

a daytime half moon,
feeble compared to at night,
yet I stop to look.

an egret peers
into the lake, past
surface reflections?

budding limbs:
vibrant growth unseen from
the city beyond.

swamphens strut
at water’s edge, and
i’m a farmboy again.
