crowing cockerel
the black cat takes
her morning wash

pieces
of a robin's egg . . .
I look up

green tips of jonquils
grandpa changes the oil
in the lawn mower

Memorial Day ...
the light blue sky
crowded with clouds

baby spiders
swarm around a knothole –
summer drizzle

tai chi class –
breathing deeply
downwind of the narcissus

gentle rain –
pigeons murmuring
under the eaves

day's end
a bit of clover
floats in the bath

glacial stream
shadows of dragonflies
pass over the bridge

a doe and two fawns
mid-street –
my hand motions "go ahead"
