once suggested that
the earth laughs
in flowers,
and it follows, i guess, that
she cries in showers

teamwork (shadorma)
horses learned
to work together
a long, long
time ago
swishing flies from each other
as a quid pro quo

a vulcan shadorma
emotions
are distracting winds–
from the breeze
to the squall,
and resolution’s clearest
with no wind at all

comet neowise, 2020
a comet
suddenly appears
and we feel
a bit odd
because everyone fears
the finger of god

yellow-headed blackbird (shadorma)
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
