hard packed sand
this bold crow
marches
on
defying
my curious dog
mindfulness

hard packed sand
this bold crow
marches
on
defying
my curious dog

after the storm
worm explores
this new world

a hundred silk hammocks
hanging in the hedge
spiders take a nap

a leaf alive this
flittering fluttering moth
dances with me

chickadee blows in
through my open window and
makes herself at home

afternoon sun
bumblebee bouncing on
lavender stems

old brown leaf tethered
with gossamer thread
spider flies a kite
words are timid with
this hummingbird hovering
over my paper

a banditry of chickadees
this quiet cactus
conducting the choir

my woolly red sweater --
flower enough for this
foggy day damselfly

duck and duck
up from
stream and green
chasing
sunrise shadows

banana slug--
rosemary blossoms hitch
a ride
after morning rain
a thousand pink star flowers
one persistent bee

birdbath filling up
succulents getting plump
SPRING!
