End of November

Hickories have turned,
Against the no-color sky,
Bight lemon yellow.

Cardinal

Visible in dawn,
The Cardinal, wearing red,
Whispered, "Pss pss. Pss."

Those words are a Cardinal language greeting.

Bright sun through droplets
Reveals a dazzling forest  
Of sparkling small trees.

Eclipse

Red-orange darkness
Glows with mystery behind
Black silhouette trees.

Can There Be Once Was?

Moment
by moment
Light shifts
Flickers
Glows bright
Sparkles
Perceptions focus
Or recede
Pass through
An instant
Is forever
And then gone
Alone
Nothing here
Ever was

Purple Moonlight  --- haiku

Deep purple softness
Blankets the shadowy woods.
Mist swirls as I move.

December haiku

The forest, softened
By the drifting morning fog, 
Slowly awakens.

Dazzling – haiku

Every leaf sparkles,
In the morning bright sunlight,
Washed clean by night rain.

Morning

Tiny bell flowers,

Each with one bright water drop,

Are glowing through fog

December Drear

Hickories glow bright;

Summer’s sunshine yellow saved,

For this gloomy day.
