a midnight rainstorm
brought early this raging creek
and stole seed-planting

yet, cycle views burst
with blossoms of spring color
saving the lost day


a midnight rainstorm
brought early this raging creek
and stole seed-planting

yet, cycle views burst
with blossoms of spring color
saving the lost day


a new moon rising
bringing blossoms to springtime
blooms: the cat's meow


winter sunrise strokes
as soft as with a paintbrush
with red glow on snow

power lines define
the hidden energy here
ready to rise up

a long-shadowed pup
feels tall in the morning light
ready for the day

sunrise to sunset
i follow the moon and sun
winter outdoor joy



cats and flowers rise
as soon as the sun is bright
to welcome rare rain

please, rain, end this drought
this plague of world crises
waiting at the door

light frozen in time
sparkling for the morning
(lit for the mourning)

aurora’s fire
brings day of recovery
from Christmas chaos


a night of sirens
gives way to a pink sunrise
and everyone’s well


what’s more beautiful—
this red, water-begging dawn
or my daughter’s grin?


each touched by showers
so desperate to soothe our souls
from this hellfire

only this sunrise
shaped by feared wildfires
could make these strange scenes
