JANUARY Sky |
full wolf moon white as the snow below |
|
FEBRUARY Death |
dead of winter wrapped in a wool scarf she knit |
|
MARCH Flight |
in and out of black clouds a fighter jet |
|
APRIL Flowers |
thirsty daffodils cup to spring clouds |
|
MAY Land |
after spring rains the scent of fresh pine a back road home |
|
JUNE New Life |
from the magnolia a grandson's first swing |
|
JULY Animals |
summer morning vegetables in the garden nibbled |
|
AUGUST Time |
tangled in garlic grandfather's watch still ticks |
|
SEPTEMBER Water |
forever an ocean of sun light sparkles diamonds |
|
OCTOBER Loss |
indian summer tears wash out to sea with a toy sail boat |
|
NOVEMBER Aquatic Life |
through thick ice his fish hook dangles a wishing well |
|
DECEMBER Family |
beneath the blue spruce three generations in a red flyer |
|
