Sweet Goodbye

final visit
to the last
of the lilacs

Sweetness

maple lace
almost sweeter
than syrup

October Glory

the light
was as thick as honey
its sweetness coated the day

Them Apples

gathering sweetness
rounding with time
growing into themselves

In The Rain

shorter days
sweeten
the crabapples

Grazing

Cows find
spring’s sweetness
in tender young grass.

Rose-lipt Maidens

Fleeting is spring’s splendor
so sweeter is the view.
