While wisteria

weeps purple joy, tiny wrens

fill the woods with song.

                                                                    JDG

Buttercups scattered

across softly rolling hills –

a poem without words

                                                                          JDG

In the pelting rain

the happy face of golden

daffodils shines through.

                                                                    JDG

Glad to see the bees

but hornets and wasps are quite

another matter.

                                                                                        JDG

Morning sun on frost

covered hills adds some sparks to

a sputtering start.

                                                                               JDG

Tree tops lit with gold

against a darkening sky –

sundown’s parting gift

                                                             JDG

Cherry’s pink blossoms –

a Spring smile on this gray

February day

                                                                                      JDG

Early evening sky

glows red – a fitting close to

a fiery day.

                                                                              JDG

The slow sift of snow –

the season’s first – softly spreads

rumors of winter.

                                                                                             JDG

For a brief moment

sky above and pond below

share a tender kiss.

                                                                                                               JDG
