Ephemeral

Flurrying snowflakes
Swarm over a frozen stream
Like summer midges.

Monochrome

Flat silver river
Smooth as an unstruck nickel
Two gray geese descend.

Tideline

Ripples on the sand
Marbling the endpapers
Of the ocean’s book.

Procession

Evening ritual
Egrets follow the cattle
Down to the river.

Mirrorball

A trembling droplet
Reflects an inverted world
Silver morning sky.

Serenity

Deep reflecting pond
A watercolor painting
Of a summer day.

Topsy-turvy

Sudden reflections
In a puddle on the road
Birds fly underfoot.

Seamstress

Long needles of ice
Stitch the open water up
On a winter pond.

Willows II

Willows mourn the fall
Weeping tear-shaped golden leaves
Into the dark stream.

Frog

Covered in duckweed
Just above the waterline
A pair of gilt eyes.
