Spooky spider,
Eight-legged beast
Looking for a fly
On which to feast.
Spooky spider
Under my bed;
I cannot sleep
You might crawl on my head.
Spooky spider,
Oh what a dream

wind lifts, skies darken , leaves to yellow,
white sand memories of kicking the foam,
tides rush in, crashing sandcastles
we built when you were small;
we made mountains, rivers,
moats and . . . more

Oceans Pantoum
Captivated by the tide,
As the sun sets for the day,
It seems to ease my weary mind,
And my worries float away,
As the sun sets for the day,
Amber glistens on the waves,
And my worries . . . more

First fallen leaves float on the water, . . . more

How lovely you are
with your crooks and turns,
reaching high
into the bluest sky,
A perch for the
songbird's sweet serenade,
nature's loveliest playground.
Your age is showing; . . . more

SILENT ALARM
subtle raising of the hairs
narrowing of eyes
heightened senses
muscles taut,
rapid response,
silent alarm

Mr. Hedgehog
At the bottom of the garden,
Hiding underneath a bush,
Lives a gentle little hedgehog,
He's sleeping so please shush!
He's been on an adventure,
Crossed the busy road,
Plodded through . . . more

warmth, frozen solid by fear

In this place, I find my Eden
and like the whisper of butterfly wings
I move softly,
afraid my presence might
disturb that which is holy;
I kneel on mossy ground
as sunlight washes over . . . more

Artwork at the shore
Great Spirit of Nature and us all
Fashioned pictures with fall of leaves
Needles of pine

Utilized an airbrush of onshore cool wind
Framed where . . . more

Alas, poor February,
you have overstayed your welcome.
Lingered, cold and silent,
in long uncaring nights,
trudged numbingly through
weak sunned, shortened days.
Alas, poor . . . more

My Zoo
There's a racoon in the backyard
four squirrels in the tree
and a hundred bird eyes
looking back at me.
Two snakes in the rocks
smooth warm in the sun.
A hawk rifing currents . . . more

How far does the wind blow, Mama?
As far as the eye can see.
Sometimes it stops to visit awhile,
but mostly it blows wild and free.
How high is the sky, Mama?
Higher than . . . more

A Crystal water caress of snow
Icy wind crystallizes dreams of warmth
The sunny silence of a cold Winter day shines in a new coat
A dusting that covers the ice surface
A country . . . more

leaves sing

upturned backs

leaves rejoice
in praise
of mighty tree
leaves promise . . . more
