tree branches
and orange lilies
across the yard
by the garage

morning poem
fog, green leaves
and beach grasses
a blue vase
with red carnations

dragonfly rests
for a moment
on the tree branch
long enough for me
to see each wing

Summer clouds
Summer clouds
and country roads
we watch cornfields
and wildflowers
grow
two poems
Saturday morning
sunrise reflections
in the window
where the spruce
tree grows
Sunday afternoon
I know the time
by the light

tree with full leaves
providing shade
comfort of faith
loved for years
and now I know your name

my old sweater
worn thin
