The Paddle Shop

Each time I pass by

There is a small ache inside

For a brother lost

Wilson

Personified friend

Of a lonely castaway

Waiting for rescue

Awaiting Spring

Long void of color

Spindly branches beseech for

Adornment of spring

House In The Leaves

Peeking from within

The wildfire encroaches

Upon her slumber

Red Barn

Within these red walls
Does your rustic heart still beat
Or silence echo

Time For Tea

Lovely, quaint tea shop

High tea with a British flair

Royal for a day

Just Before Sunset

Savor this moment

Muted layers set ablaze

On the chasm's edge

Day Lilies At Covered Bridge

Soft, fragrant trumpets

Harbingers heralding a

Simpler, gentler time

Ivy

Abundance of ivy

Covers bark on sturdy tree

Green feathery cloak

 

Island Sheep

One small sheep grazing

In green pasture near the sea

Pastoral beauty

Big Brother

 

You are not alone

Big brother is watching you

Proceed with caution

Two Roses

Roses in the yard 

Pastels on muted canvas

Braving autumn cold

Birds On The Peak

Sentries on the peak

Patient for that one moment

To pounce on the worm

Meditation Garden

Stone bench by the birch

Where dreams thrive in reflection

Alone in one's thoughts

Lost From Sea

Tossed from stormy seas

Out of place by the roadside

 Neptune lost a child

Idle Hands

Toilet paper house

Too much time on their young hands

Or final payback

Cowboy

You lean lazily
With foot on the old tree stump

The strong silent type

Dawn's Silhouette

Although bare of leaves

Dawn's light inspires beauty

Skyline silhouette

Berries of Flame

Autumn berries burst

Like flames upon kindling wood

Lighting winter's path

River Waters

Water nurtures life

In a nearly barren wood

Nature's own bloodstream

Starburst

Sturdy pine needles

Brave winter's stormy ire

Starburst evergreen 

Little Donkey

Donkey and his cart

Impatient for the farmer

Pumpkins to market

Wild Beauty

Suburban jun gle

Leaves painted like tiger stripes

Feathered plume tails wag

Morning Star

Venus morning star

Goddess of love and beauty

Diamond of the dawn

Find The Sun

 Journey toward the sun

Where new adventures await

Life needs to be lived

First Snow

With one sweeping stroke

Winter settles upon us

Blemishes concealed

Daisy Chain

Wild flowers beckon

The princess girl inside us

String a daisy chain

The American Flag

Symbol of freedom

For truth justice and respect

Honor it today

Aging Gracefully

The street light's harsh glow

Bares lines and wr inkles of age

Eternal beauty

Two Gnomes

Two gnomes in the wood

Partied hard Saturda y night

One slept through Sunday
