Struggling to cling to life
Springtime in the wings

Dawn calls upon me
Her robes, red, orange, blue–calming
Life’s resurrection

Fingers of Winter

Tearing at natures chilled flesh

Black flies meet their fate

Respect For The Earth (Tanka)

Respect for the earth

Our resources limited

Profit is the king

Nature loses to business

When money does the talking

Grand Canyon Winter

Grand Canyon winter

Buttes caped in the whitest robes

Pure and unspoiled

A picture perfect postcard

Painted by the Master’s hand

≈ 

A beautiful sight

Burnished under an endless sky

Her majesty unchallenged

She harbors life in this cold

Though her shores appear barren

≈ 

Deer, eagle, rabbit

All survive her harsh winter

As done for eons

Wondrous in their fortitude

Man has yet to ruin them

 ≈

Protected from harm

One of the seven wonders

She most surely is

May this always be so

For generations to come

Strokes, Blue, Red, Orange (Haiku)

Strokes, blue, red, orange
Drawn in glorious pastels
Brilliant morning sky

Tiniest Cricket (Haiku)

Tiniest cricket

Seeks refuge from the storm

Symphony indoors
