Tiny white flowers
huddle close to the ground
hoping to duck
the lawnmower”s blade.

Just Checking
Running through the yard,
three young deer suddenly stop
and look back for their mothers.

Dreams Of Times Past?
Lying on her bed,
my aging cat meows though
she is deep asleep.

Cold. But Unsuccessful
Winter tried to push
Spring aside, but the lady
wasn’t having it.

Ponderings
Seeing that lone duck
glide slowly across the pond,
I wonder if she’s lonely.

Consequential Moments
I forgot to seize
the moment so the moment
reached out and seized me.

Come Dance With Us
Even on this rainy day
the daffodils trumpet
their golden song.

For Now
This Spring that old tree
stands without a leaf, but
its gaunt beauty remains.

A Life Well Lived
As his wife is handed
the folded flag, our eyes fill
with tears for the loss
of husband, father, grandfather,
uncle, brother, father-in law, and friend –
a man who lived with honor,
intelligence, kindness, loyalty, and mischievous wit.

At Nature’s Altar
Dressed in bridal white,
that tree stands alone waiting
to unite with green.
