__ Green trees wave... 'their leaves'... to the good, and against this illness. _m

an empty train
leaves this crossroad depot
green trees wave

Life's wind doesn't harm the wick, it simply severs the candle's flame. _m

times candlewick 
deeply feeds this flame of life
a soft wind

Nature changes "althings", always; or should it be, "all things, all ways"?  Smiles! _m

old sun
alights this pathway
new day

__ Enticed... this time within a forest's woods

of forest shade
as lady slippers blossom
a deer trail

__ Previous snowfall and on this ground's new blanket, tree branches pen their words; the authors.

noon sun
trees write as they feel
shadow words

__ Earlier this fall, the roving deer... one took a sip from the cranberry bog's water. Such a soft thing to watch, these calm and wandering deer.

three deer
circle this flooded bog
a sip

__Could the cat's purr harmonize with the mosquitoes' hum?                                                        
day close
in the mosquitoes tune 
this sleepy cat 

__The Humming Birds and the Lilacs; the meeting.                                                                          
humming birds
hover in this lilac bush
the wings blossom

__Musical summer night,  a few years ago.                                                                                          
night rain
this drummer on the pond
frogs' cymbals

__Night sounds.                                                                                                                                                    
a dog's bark
between the crows' caws 
corn fields 

__Time now, that I return to fewer words as I follow this well known saying, 'Less is ... .' _m

train whistle
wheels thunder on the tracks
smell of rain

__Oooo!  Troublesome near and on the Cape; we were home before the problems. I so often think that >snow is a smaller problem< then some of the drivers.  

new snow
floats through this quiet night
train whistle

Trick of Treet! 
__This is a "re-scribble" from my post of October first, during 2014.  We've lit the candle again. Smiles_!

this silly pumpkin
its face of fanticies deep
candle smiles

__Now, this is a rare rewrite I applied to one of my posts that originated during August, 2009; it was our walk around a nearby cranberry bog.

Another firefly haiku... in this night's soft rain. 
__An old post, seen at this blog in March of 2009 in anticipation of that coming summer's warmth, and previously... at Tinywords during June of 2008.

fireflies
in this night's soft rain...

Either way; thank you Iris! _m

a warm neck
near and far it taunts
the suns game

__With positive out-look, as we take our steps into this new year...  I wish you all a Great, and Grand, 2013! _m


soul birds soar
and scan the far horizon
new time's wing

a toast
as lemmings dive off this cliff
I'll pour

 

From two nights past, the storm... .


in this wind
the swamp birches dance
golden rod

... and, Kristin,  an echo's echo.


rain drops
fill my minds dreams
a river runs

an old bridge
spans this swollen river
suns ray

__Welcome my friends! Now, let us step back several months into that "other season," and out of this cold and snow! Ahh-haa, instead, shall we all just step forward?


warm light...
in scents of pine and lilac
this rose
