once upon
a time, this fellow
flew to the
sun and back;
it turned his whole head yellow
but burned his face black

storms (shadorma)
i love storms;
when black clouds appear
with lightning
and thunder,
i get a tingle of fear
mingled with wonder

red-winged blackbird (shadorma)
they say he’s
very vigorous,
flying from
nest to nest,
but the word polygamous
really fits him best

in the hay (shadorma)
i’d like to
be this care-free foal
on the farm
here today
so i too could take a roll
around in the hay

rain or snow (shadorma)
the forecast
is getting better;
they’re talking
rain, not snow,
but with our april weather,
they don’t really know

shy serenity (shadorma)
if you look
for serenity,
but you just
can’t find her,
then seek out simplicity
and look behind her

wee squirrel (shadorma)
wee squirrel,
won’t you let me win
this game of
hide and seek?
all i want to do is pinch
your furry li’l cheek

emotive earth (shadorma)
our earth’s own
changing sky, i think,
shows she has
feelings, too;
there are days she’s in the pink–
other days, she’s blue

nature’s apparel (shadorma)
she’s pretty,
all decked out in white,
although i
must confess–
there’s just no prettier sight
than her floral dress
–photos by me
a dream away (shadorma)
i envy
those who hibernate,
not knowing
winter’s sting–
and to what do they awake?
lilacs in the spring!
