Stretching Willow

Slender form extends
toward clear cerulean sky --
willow tree stretches.

Afternoon Showers

Afternoon showers
gently sprinkle thirsty grass
beneath evergreens.

* * * * *

Sapphire Twilight

Sapphire twilight sky
falls into evening's embrace --
passionate romance.

* * * * *

Whispers in Moonlight

Moonlight whispers
gracefully dance on midnight wind --
fleeting harmony.

* * * * *

Summer Lawn

Dandelions droop
as grass swords slash and battle.
The lawnmower roars.

* * * * *

Thunderstorm

A nebulous sky
lit by silver arteries,
sliced by sword-sharp winds.


I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. -- Aunt May, Spider-Man 2
