ROBIN AFTER RAIN

 

 

Despite politics,
we all have work to do like
making rain repairs.

 

WITH RAIN

 

 

Smoking curlicues,
dancing citronella flame—
evening mosquitoes.

 

PRECURSOR

 

 

No doubt about it,
high-tech’s forecast proven true
with red sky at dawn.

 

FLORIFEROUS MONKEYFLOWER – Mimulus floribundus

 

 

Small yellow faces
drawing life where their seed rests
in cracks of granite.

 

ROADRUNNERS

 

 

Ubiquitous songs
spilling from the green of spring
ring hollow at dawn.

 

SURPRISE

 

 

Jade heaven forgive
my sudden interruption
of breakfast at noon.

 

Kaweah River Bush Monkeyflower – Mimulus aurantiacus var. pubescens

 

 

Comes early, stays late—
adds color to gray granite
outcrops through summer.

 

RAINBOW

 

 

Stabbed in the mountains,
sun’s wet reflection marking
more than pots of gold.

 

HEAVEN’S CLOUD

 

 

Close to heaven’s cloud
cattle graze untouched ridgetops
undisturbed at peace.

 

CURIOSITIES

 

 

Prodigal parents
away with rain, we become
heaven’s disruptions.
