the freezing river
spray paints its delicate shores

with new storm windows
on our lakes, their white shutters
will soon be closing

the cold dark pines
cradle a golden nest of
precious morning light

the deepest secrets
of the cosmos are written
in every stone
I found this stone on one of my constitutionals into the Superior National Forest. It almost seems as though it has a message encoded in its structure, and for all I know, it might.

maples tell the pines
to roll out the thatched carpet
for winter draws nigh

a smoky sunrise
adds a surreal touch
to nature’s artwork

stormy clouds above
racing their rivals below
locked in a dead heat

the ducklings have grown
their limpid pond has turned green–
the dog star rises
–photo by me

fresh black-eyed susans–
each wanting to tell her own
side of the story
–photo by me

a songbird sings out–
and makes the weary world
seem all right again
