i savor the flavor
of butterscotch skies
with brown sugar clouds
in a buttery blend
i stir up the syrup
my finger held high
and slide the sun down
as another day ends

Month: December 2023
the old new year (shadorma)
the old year
fades and disappears–
what will the
new year bring?
just like all the other years:
more of everything

limerick 70
i call him a weasel or stoat
while others say ermine, i note,
but we all agree
he’s as cute as can be
as he stands in his little white coat

I’m taking a little break from writing to “wrap up” my Christmas obligations and visit family, but here are four of my favorite shots (so far) from 2023:
Happy Holidays to all!!

Tabled
All is quiet here today at the little round table on the rocky shore of Rapid River. In the spring, the river’s annual flooding brings birds of all kinds as well as fishermen, tourists, birdwatchers, and old men with cameras like me. All summer and into the fall, its roaring rapids teem with activity, but for now, the sights of the round table are…tabled.

a strange beauty (tanka)
beauty is not in
the eye of the beholder–
it is in the soul
and the soul can find beauty
in the strangest of places

winter solstice
clearly impotent,
the blushing sun hides his face
in the trees all day

shot of the day 12/19/23
silhouettes complement
the light, wispy skies
like jet black mascara
over pale blue eyes
