poetry rises
winter storm
broken rainbows
to destroy the moon
no ship sails
a thought past reality
swish of sudden hail
cock of the walk
mistletoe
reminder
never
underwater spell
moonrise
enduring power break
rain in night london
fulfillment
sun dogs bristling
hour glass at waikiki
when i am gone
to come home
encounter at recess
whisht!
the rising moon
in praise of age
child view
one blotched egg
sparrows twittering
folly has nine lives
proof of the pudding
morning after
bees
summer
broughton island
sundown
dreams
die a little every day
four-letter world
wilting flowers
bottle
dandelion
twenty houses
morning sun
time shadows
waiting
tulips
how can i answer?
success
big nuisance
wrong address
the dance of time
far-away sounds
long winter night
birds fly south
under springtime
poplar buds
longing
old poplar tree
the king is dead
once
appointment
goldfish
redwoods
sickle moon
buffalo trail
second coming
autumn sky

LONGING

Tonight the moon ascends
majestically over the trees
edging the lake.
Gulls beat slow
Upon the copper sunset
Shattering silence
Taking me by surprise.
You are not here.
The prairie grass
whispers plaintively.
A star streaks downward,
wind goes willfully by -
flowers dream of sun's coming
and I, wishing you safe over black waters,
long for your laughter
to open the night.
