Sweet Farm Life

winter rose
rusted red roofs
early rural valentine

Mountainside

black bird rests
in the red winter rose
snowfall’s tableau

Goddess’ Gift

ruby red traces
of Aphrodite’s shower of kisses
the world awakens to love

Summoning Blue Skies

the mountain ridge
the sumac’s reach
the destiny of spring

Comrades

barn doors and sumac
witnessing the  seasons
as their colors fade

By Any Other Name

winter’s red roses
sumac in snow
