Stillness is Important


Stillness is Important

The heron picks a place.

Looks at a particular space.

Stands still.

Makes a slow turn of the head.

Stands still.

Stretches its neck.

Stands still.

Bends down then straightens up.

Stands still.

One quick strike ends the stillness.

The Sun and The Lake


The Sun and the Lake

They collaborate!

The lake is a pseudo-canvas.

The sun lays down a blue sky.

Adds a layer of white clouds.

Ends with a group of trees.

The lake adds a few wiggles.

Each scene is available for a limited time.

But, new ones appear day-to-day.

Watch Yourself Fly


Watch Yourself Fly

You had the

courage to start.

Put in the work.

Survive the storms.

Now, it's time to

watch yourself fly.

Writing Prompts

 

Writing Prompts

My photographs are prompts.

        Give me a place to start.

What words come to mind?

Do they take me back in time?

Is the scene new or

something I've been through?

Will you see the connection or

have I gone to a place only I can inhabit?

Hurry Up


 

Hurry Up

I'm striking a nice pose.

Hurry up!

I have food to find.

Hurry up!

Don't waste my time.

Taking my picture

should be a snap.

This is a persona poem.

Abandoned Bobbers


Abandoned Bobbers

get caught up in their work.

Hang out on their own,

but aren't really alone.

They remain on display

for the people who walk by each day.

Grow Down


Grow Down

Branches can grow down.

Have leaves that flourish.

Still create a breeze.

Provide rest stops for birds.

Let squirrels run around.

Thrive at their own level.
