Cold Rain March 13, 2017
Cold, chill to the bone
Steady drizzle and down-pours
Early springs revenge.

Farm Chores January 4, 2017
Electric fence clicks
Cardinals chip, in gloaming
Evening hay run.

Something Blue July 23, 2016
From red kayak bow
The lake stretches out deep blue
Big clouds float above.
