30 April 2017

Gray skies and thunder
And the dog looks for shelter
Hiding near my feet.

27 April 2017

And I remember
A flower in a hedgerow
Years ago, in France.

Early this morning,
Listening to doves calling,
I slowly wake up.

The bullfrog returns,
Keeping me awake with his
Insistent croaking.

Roadside, there's a goose
Eating dandelion greens
As I'm driving by.

Just days ago--bare
Branches.  Now, leaves whisper
When a breeze moves them.

12 April 2017

Feeling old tonight...
Aching knees, aching shoulder,
Unable to sleep.

Late night memories...
Where I was and how I felt
And who was with me.

The sun's still shining
As a sudden storm rattles
Our windows today.

A sparrow in flight,
Singing as it passes, and
I want to sing, too.

The storm grows nearer.
The dog trembles, tries to hide,
Lying at my feet.

4 April 2017

Just a year ago,
Watching the sky and waiting
For the coming storm.

Growing old, my friends
No longer near, wishing for
Past intimacies.
