Soft, Rippling Water

Soft, rippling water

Mallard meditates, calmly

Keeps a watchful eye

Four Seasons

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

Aftermath of Dream

Aftermath of dream
Paranoid perspiration
Comfort comes with dawn

Middle of a Dream

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

Singing in the Trees

Singing in the trees
Greeting warmer morning air
New cherry blossoms

Green Shoots Promising

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

Deceptive Sunshine

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

Drifting Through the Day

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

Sheep May Safely Graze

Pen y Fan

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

Gracefully Gliding

Swan

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