CLOUDS
Covering darkly the face of the sun sometimes, and other times only
Lending whimsical character to the sky, clouds
Often help depict the various moods of change Mother Nature . . .

Autumns' Sun in golden haze,
Shines out on shorter days,
Lengthened shadow colors all,
As cattle's gathered in their stall.
The harvester brings in his bounty,
Of wheat that he . . .

Birds fly with new twigs
Water laps at islands’ feet

I wakened,
to the sound
of crows fussing,
in the early
mist of dawn.
Then they hushed,
as if their work
had been done,
and I was left, alone,
with no comfort.

Voluptuous mountains
rise to peaks,
desiring,
a gentle caress
from cloud-draped skies,
and all the while,
voyeurs' eyes
follow
the contour,
watching the brazen display, . . .

Trees shed their glory,
As squirrels fill their pantries.
The weather changes.
Southward bound birds give warning,
Soon winters' breath will freeze all.

SUNSET
Shadows fall into darkness,
Undauntedly forcing days' end, having
No recourse, but one last
Stance, revealing beauty with
Elegant majesty,
The sun gives its own epitaph.

cold,
icy,
mountain creek,
gurgling, bubbling, bouncing along,
in early spring,
gives home to crawdads,
and salamander-
the first is searched for,
the other shunned,
as I sit,
crouched . . .

The wind flirts in the valley, below the mountain range,
where the farmer with his plow, spreads wide his fallow carpet,
at the hem of the willows' gown.
The willow, dressed in elegance . . .

I was at the bus stop with my grandson. I watched as the traffic went by, making whirlwinds with the leaves. Than they would fall back into the ditch. Thus the scene repeated, as morning travelers were . . .

Please critique. Thank you.
Thunder sounds over distant planes,
as lightning flashes in the village square.
Passion rises and falls,
in rhythm to native drums.

The summer past,
the heat beguiled,
rapturous love,
and heart filled passion,
all to the tune of,
monotone rhythm,
of rain,
soft against hard,
and then gone,
as dandelions gone to seed,

The fog lifts.
Day arrives as a dignitary,
in great splendor,
colorful,
dressed in the finest array,
with more promise,
than a politicians' . . .

There is something about this season that entices me, draws me out, with primal urges, begging me, "Come out and enjoy..". I have always been this way. Maybe I can attribute it to a country . . .

I sit upon my balcony,
Surrounded by the night,
Upon my shoulders, darkness lay,
As a maidens' courting shawl,
And the night sounds become a gentleman,
And replicates his southern . . .

I dig into the earth, striving to gain some advantage
over the hard packed dirt,
laced with rough-edged stones.
Three packets of seeds left
from Spring planting,
laying aside, waiting, waiting.

Dispoasable cameras can be a great teaching tool for small children. Go for little walks or go exploring in your own yard. If the child can't quite yet work the buttons, let him/her decide . . .

Full moon hangs in morning sky,
as the sun raises her head,
to greet the day.
Haze draped mountains,
skip along,
with blue-sky background,
and I am left,
to the glorious wonder,
of a beautiful . . .
