autumn afternoon
acorns tap free rhythms

These micropoems aka “small stones” are short observational micro-poem-things mostly about nature. They are the result of paying close attention to the world around and writing from those moments.
autumn afternoon
acorns tap free rhythms
on a gray Prius
the sky wrapped
all the trees in rain
thunder days
wide-eyed little boy
holding my hand in parking lots
school’s coming so fast
///
lone cirrus wisp
a temporary arrow
pointing back toward home
sulphur butterfly
stone skipping across the sky
wind and highway noise
my yard work helper
throws mud, laughing
high forties
running through sprinklers
in filthy pj’s
red bud blossoms
flickers of warmth
in grey fog
rain lilies dawn’s fading stars
the road to summer
a field full of primroses
& a killdeer’s cries
