__Through a winter day's change to night,  that extreme temperature change stresses our nearby pond's ice-cap, and that increased tension causes the ice to loudly creak.

Not a seasonal >confusion < just the >comfort< of my memories. Smiles! _m

__Is the snow hawk waiting for its shadow, 0r is the shadow... waiting for another hawk?  _m

__I minimized my activity and stepped aside for awhile, and scratched my fictions on yellow leagle pads... writer's "Flock"... it might be said. Smiles!

In a night's breeze, the pumpkin winks as its candle flickers.

as each night stains the day

a far train

The old path, shaded by fresh tree limbs.

across this aged path
crossing the brook

The yellow smiles.

reflections rise
in uncountable places
dandelions bloom

Often on any walk, thoughts will take you to another time.
