Dance of Spring

Trillium blossom
dances on a field of green,
Celebrating life.

Invitation*

Unfinished sentence
A deliberate silence,
Dangling ellipsis ...

* While reading "Writing to Wake the Soul" by Karen Hering

William Stafford

In the darkness, He
wrote a poem each morning
Before the sunrise.*

* (Written for the Poet's 100th Birthday Anniversary)

-- Watch a half-hour remembrance of William Stafford on OPB's Art Beat --

Remembering January Third

Gasping for a breath
Wondering if this is "it,"
Will I see morning?

Out the Bathroom Window

Lonely maple leaf
hanging from the lilac's branch
Lingers before death.

Blanket

The leaves are falling
Yellow, orange, red,
A quilt on the lawn.

A Haiku?

What was he doing?
Writing a free-form haiku,
An oxymoron.
