During Monsoon time
   the sky, charmed by the earth,
tries on the colors of wildflowers. 

   Solstice sunshine
   pets a dandelion seed,
      dancing along a breeze.

The shadowed cocklebur
hitches a ride on a passing boot.

   soft, rounded clouds
in a gentle repose -
softly caressed by the breeze.

Alone during migration,
     probing pond-side mud,
this unconcerned Willet.

The smell of rich compost,
and harvests yet to be,
        blown away by spring winds.

brittle with ice
    a wind chime's note
in a spring breeze

     Moonlight on paper -
her crooked arm
     follows the ink.
