Delighted child
licking chocolate ice cream
in hot summer sun.

Gently falling rain
washes over the garden -
flowers revive.

12/8/99

Misty breath lingers
mother and fawn graze
on summers bounty.

12/07/99

Stepping gingerly
upon the scorching pavement
naked feet dancing.

12/21/99

Pale blue chicory
growing wild and unruly
chokes my begonias.

6/27/00

Bare feet skipping down road
toes sticking in bubbling tar
should have worn shoes.

1/23/01

The sun kissed mountain
radiates a golden glow
awakening joy.

2/3/00

Feathery thistle
tickling butterfly feet
as they sip nectar.

2/24/00

Transparent water
reflects the lilies’ beauty
mirroring my hopes.

3/7/00

Raging sea orates
colliding and crushing all …
dawn breaks the shadows.

3/8/00

Morning breaks calm, warm
Hopes of rain soon dissipate
Heat wave continues

4/19/00

Pink blossoms cascade
ripples slap manicured banks
swans stretch, croon, and dip.

5/12/00

Dragonfly hovers
Over algae covered pond
Poised for attacking

1/21/05

Summer's eve lightening
brilliance highlights dusty earth
leaves upturned, waiting.

6/16/00

Late summers evening
lying out under the stars
meteors dazzling.

7/24/05

Child runs bare bottomed
happily through the garden
mom in hot pursuit.

Revised 1/22/01

Watermelon drips
sticky hands and faces
seeds begin to zing.

1/22/01

Muddy pond beckons
Cool water, slippery rocks
Moss pots dry in sun

1/23/01

Hot summer’s day treat
sharing cherry icies
from convenient store.

7/04/01

Rain pummels the ground
Dry cracked earth drinks greedily
Plants sign in relief

  7/26/05

River laughs gently
Gaily tripping over stones
Warmed by sun and life

6/25/06

Kites soar overhead
sun kissed faces beaming bright
summer ends too soon.
