Soft, Rippling Water

Soft, rippling water

Mallard meditates, calmly

Keeps a watchful eye

Four Seasons

Posted by Grandpa

Well, well. What to wear.
Four seasons seen in one day.
Sun, rain, wind, and hail.

Aftermath of dream
Paranoid perspiration
Comfort comes with dawn

Posted by Grandpa

Middle of a dream
First deep sleep for many days
Disturbed by child’s cries

Posted by Grandpa

Singing in the trees
Greeting warmer morning air
New cherry blossoms

Posted by Grandpa

Green shoots promising
New life dawning ev’rywhere
Frost still hanging on

Posted by Grandpa

Beautiful sunshine
Looking good through the window
Very deceiving
Late frost covers the garden
Winter very tenacious

Posted by Grandpa

Drifting through the day
Lazy clouds floating along
Trees buds start to grow

Posted by Grandpa

Pen y Fan

Sheep may safely graze
Protected by the shepherd
Welcoming springtime
How delightful is this time
Trees awakening at last

Posted by Grandpa

Swan

Gracefully gliding
Scanning the water for food
Now the lake has thawed
