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

a dream away (shadorma)
i envy
those who hibernate,
not knowing
winter’s sting–
and to what do they awake?
lilacs in the spring!

a new day (shadorma)
a new day
arrives to banish
the demons
of the night–
how quickly they all vanish
in the morning light!
–photo by me
friends in high places (shadorma)
it’s often
my experience
that as i
shovel snow,
a large, treetop audience
gathers for the show
