28 June 2025 (summer rain)

summer rain

petals of wildflowers

cling to bare legs

20 April 2025 (flushed from sun)

flushed from sun . . .

patches of owl’s-clover

along the river trail

4 October 2024 (this longing)

this longing for home

sparrows forage in a patch

of wild mustard

10 August 2023 (the way)

the way some

childhood memories stick

burdocks

14 June 2023 (flag day)

flag day

irises lines both sides

of the riverbank

23 April 2023 (an old longing)

an old longing

stirs in my veins . . .

bloodroot

Bloodroot flowers

6 October 2022 (migrating)

migrating sparrows the subtle flowers of witch hazel

11 September 2022 (whorled)

whorled aster

the shallow stream’s unseen

current

8 August 2022

where the house burned down

a field of wildflowers

fledgling finches

5 August 2022 (haze)

summer haze

the roadside crowded

with Queen Anne’s lace

30 July 2022 (ennui)

summer ennui

St. John’s wort flowers

boost my mood
