A bearded iris
in delicate coral pink
glows in the twilight

Walking on the sand
while the sun streams off the lake.
Feels wrong to wear shoes.

Neighborhood greetings
bring warmth to a cold morning.
How are you today?

A night without sleep
means even a sunny day
passes in a fog

Why do I garden
As soon as I'm home from work,
wearing a white shirt?

Hot wind from the west
Pulls along a darkened sky
Like a child's wagon

Skipping in the sand
I threw a stone in the lake
It skipped on the waves
