This morning

 

Morning mist lingers

with promise of a fine day

and birdsong enchants.

Looking

 

Young men, gaze upwards

I too turn and look with them;

a mackerel sky.

Spring arrives

.

Small cotton wool clouds

dot a vast expanse of blue;

a welcome return.

This ship

 

Navigating an

unsure course through the Doldrums

landmarks give me hope.

Sadness

 

It hangs in the air

a constant veil surrounding;

looking for clearings.

Starburst

 

Magnolia tree

bursting with delicate blooms

snow white in the spring.

Comma (2)

 

A warm Spring morning

punctuated only by

a passing comma.

Making plans

.

Woodland burial

with willow wicker coffin

return to the earth.

Passing time

 

It’s fast approaching

and after all the waiting

time to say goodbye.

Vicuña

 

Andean highlands

home to the small cameloid

emblem of Peru.
