A Winter Radiance

here a rainbow rises
of colored branches
behold this halo of joy

Concentration

a potent joy
in the brightness
of crabapples

Nana’s Dooryard Garden

her welcome
always joyous
and abundant

Not Done Yet

sweet September
unwilling to let
summer’s party fade away

Joy And Sorrow

the dark and light
that passes through
our blue days

Morning’s Song

voices raised
in joyous praise
birds greet the day

Poppies

cacophony of colors
a wild flowering
abandoned to joy
