Avian Lullaby

A favorite image from almost four years ago, reprised for your enjoyment.

Young, yellow
Warbler’s eyes
Grew heavy
Dusk’s faint
Glow, changed
To darkness
Of night

Cradled in
Hex-netted
Comfort, the
Sandman sang
This, weary
Little bird
To sleep

Smooth Ride (Haiku)

Diesels at idle

colorful nets, hung to dry-

smooth ride on the edge

Character Lines

Not much

To look at

If you discount

The meaning

Of what character

Should be

Yellow-Fringed Orchid

Fringed

Yellow blooms

Raised spirits

Brought touch

Of class and beauty

To the lower elevations

Attention Deficit

The stars shone last night

Reflected across the waves

Where land, sea, and sky met

Queens of cul-de-sacs

Mayors of Mudvilles

Sat on their sun porches

Told outrageous lies

Refused to believe

Because stargazing in daylight

Was difficult to perceive

Wishing For a Day…

When differences

Passed away

When things

Were seen for

What they were

Instead of what

We think they should be

Stalking

Lone

Stilt

Walking

Stalker

Prowled

At dusk

And dawn

Silhouetted

Against

Horizon

And sea

Liquidity

Water borne

Liquid assets

Fluid motion

Senses lulled
