perched atopa 40-foot red pinethe raven watches...
a cat stares from the houseat a woman walking a dog --paws on the window
daffodil shoots push throughthe ground by the slippery deck --april showers
There once was a day damp and drearythat left an old man feeling weary.So he practiced some yoga,put on a bright toga,and danced 'round the house newly cheer-y!
There once was a cold rainy dayWho thought that it might be okayTo freeze people's nosesAnd dampen their toes-esSo everyone inside did stay
sand dancesclouds paint the sky orange --mid-afternoon desert
prickly spines repelledall who came near -- until one daylove broke through
curious catexploring light flares flashingfrom my laptop
red ones and green onesand yellow ones and blue ones --the birds are busy
old fluorescent tubeclick crackle hum crackle hummmmmmmmmthe sound of light
blending with the howlsof hyenas on the hunt --human happiness
a distant statuewearing an ornate headdress --crabapple blossoms
flash of yellowjust outside the back door --first narcissus
