shrubs in a snowdrift
stretch spindle arms up and out
an open embrace
ready to catch you tumble
at the end of a busy day

The Banker and the Bard
(personal photo)
raindrops chase us
inside an old bank
to a bard’s haunt
where walls hold his stories,
and guests seek his poetry
Light to Color Our Day
(personal photo)
each new day
begins with light in the east
to color our day,
this morning a rainbow greeted me
when I looked in your direction
Prairie Grass
(personal photo)
tall prairie grass
strands clumped together,
golden sentinels
promise dormant dreams
a green tomorrow
Dormant
(personal photo)
on a riverbank
manmade gears and cogs
beneath dry snow crystals,
nature bides her time until
she torques a new direction
Citizens Sleep
(personal photo)
the river flows
through a frozen landscape
where citizens sleep,
you and I run a slow pace
with icicles in our breath
Hometown Team
(personal photo)
the hometown team
returns to a media blizzard
an icy reception
but underneath it all
little hands clamor for attention
Chill in the Air
(personal photo)
November snow
chills the air, freezes trees
right outside our door
inside we light a fire
Birchwood keeps us warm
Heart Link
(personal photo)
cold metal rises
from rough barren ground
stark on the field
yet it loops to form a heart,
links our lives to something warm
What Would It BE
(personal photo)
if you could tell me
one truth, what would it be,
beneath the red lights
and giant letters along the street;
what fact would emerge
