nature unfurled

rocks and trees and sky
and beautiful lights at dusk
a gentle breeze too  🦊❤️


 

“quicker picker uppers”

oh! what a “bounty”
of “quicker picker uppers”
wiping away worry  🦊❤️

a sign of the times
a car full of paper towels
and looking for more



 

mea culpa - i’m not an arborist (lol)

this tree’s really a 
cucumber magnolia
not a tulip tree  🦊❤️


 

shape of things.

some trees are known by
the shape of the leaves they bear
like this tulip tree  🦊❤️

 

little adults

childhood’s soft contours
honed to a razor’s edge…
old before their time… 🦊❤️😢

rebels

the leaves are falling
and mother nature slows down
two rebels say, “no!”  🦊❤️



 

noli timere (be not afraid)

it’s that time of year
the supernatural haunts
be not afraid  🦊❤️
natural abounds
and supernatural too
it’s that time of year  🦊❤️








 

made in the shade

green peninsula
in the shadow of the tree
it’s made in the shade  🦊❤️

 

black walnut

a matter of… time
as fall is your time… to fall…
mother earth… awaits  🦊❤️


 

larger than life

oh to be an ant
to creep between trees of grass
grandeur of it all  🦊❤️

 

fall is for feeling

when the skies of fall
loom above and sail as one
flannel feels so good  🦊❤️

smeared with colors of the earth

simpler times

when johnny played ball
face masks were a single bar
it was just a game  🦊❤️


 

ahhhhhh…..

far from the mainstream
a cozy nook… so quiet
we sit… and we breathe… 🦊❤️

 

supply chain blues

toilet paper’s rare
and grocery shelves are empty
so let them eat shoes! 🦊❤️

simple strokes of paint
photographed into pixels
what would van gogh say?  🦊❤️

 

against all odds

from a rocky world
a sturdy tree has emerged
life can work like that  🦊❤️

lasting impression

on this muddy road
is left a life’s impression
never blown away 🦊❤️

 

the ins and outs…

in at 2:19 
you arrive at 60 miles
out at 2:32 🦊❤️

out at 2:32
i’ll see you at 66
i’ll write this haiku 🦊❤️


 

the mountains call

just cruising along
our heads way up in the clouds
vermont’s green mountains  🦊❤️

 

ever so gently down



 
on a lush green field
a little yellow balloon
touched down and was still  🦊❤️


1984

so we’re all alone
free to be me, you - you
big brother watches  🦊❤️

 

hope springs eternal…

from the aged human breast
a tender shoot emerges…
hope springs eternal 🦊❤️

It is human nature to keep on hoping against all odds. This particular expression was coined by the poet Alexander Pope in An Essay on Man (1732), “Hope springs eternal in the human breast,” and very quickly became proverbial. (From Google Search)

and pretzel purse too… 🦊❤️

fiery sun at dusk
melting its way through the trees
hot knife through butter… 🦊❤️

 

perfect shadow

the sun overhead
and the smooth sand underfoot
a perfect shadow  🦊❤️
