Thirst

berries quench
my January thirst
for color

New

everything a wonder
the world
is brand new

The Day Rose Softly

the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks

Admiration

slowly goes the snail
admiring everything
knowing flowers will wait
to be seen

Conversion

raindrops on snowdrops
and so the seasons change

Autumn’s Gesture

a feather
of fern seeds
waves in the wind

Glad

the afterglow
of gratitude
is gladness
