If gum were chocolate

Like cows with their cud
we would chew constantly, and
then we’d all swallow.

Insomnia bordering on insanity

Night winds roar like a
giant parent screaming “Go
to sleep!” without words.

Driving home at sunset

Hills like cut paper
black against tissue blue skies.
Through poked holes, stars shine.

In memoriam: Mrs. G

Now that the snow is
gone, her neglected garden
pokes up stalks of loss.

Snow in March

Hats, gloves, put away
in optimism return
for winter’s last gasp.

only blog can make a tree

a dilemma of
riches in tiny topaz
the art of language

Spring in the air

Mud has a smell that’s
like waking up to coffee.
You know you’re alive.

Snowmelt

the constant dripping
nature’s tears of joy as she
sees her world reborn

March 20

The equinox means
equal night and day worldwide
yin and yang of light.

Spring equinox

Days grow longer like
smiles that stretch wider as one
greets a long lost friend.
