Haibun: When Grass Turns Gold

The northern wind breathes ice across the water and leaves wind-tears in our eyes. We find shelter in the dunes where the sun feels warmest. The tidal wash between the stones looks very clean, as if someone has already been here.

ruffled bent grass
turns to gold

Quadrille: When Nature Gives Us Poems

one day of warm
can melt all the snows

seals bask in the sun
calling their pups

watched by a cormorant
on a pole in the river

cast your net to
capture the sounds

follow your gaze

feel nature give poetry
in her making

Haibun: Among The Waves

 

lr-1260918 ww

 

We are grateful there is enough beach for us to stretch our legs at high tide. Waves roll and foam, carrying news for those who listen. The gulls squawk overhead, wings white as snow. With every step we walk into a new story.

among the waves
our eyes can touch the geese
this winter
