frollicking
in the heat
dog barks at the sun

Valentine

valentine's day...
in a pool of snow-melt
paper rose

frigid evening
stray cat comes to warm up
being extra cute

frigid evening
stray cat comes to warm up
being extra cute

first daffodil


early February
already one golden trumpet
glows

Amaryllis on kitchen window

bereft of flowers -
now shooting forth
a long green spear!

Ash Wednesday on SpanishTown Road


Jewelled skeletons dance

Swaying

cool February morning

The scent of rum and redemption

Warming

Warming ground
first weeds of the season
popping in the lawn

again
leaves opening
out from the mystery

why do they do that?

in the graveyards
the carrion crows
pull the pansies from their beds

feeding time at the park

several sheep
at the manger
surround the goat

the black goat
with his forward feet
in the trough

Lent Begins

yesterday's treasures
today's useless trinkets
Mardi Gras throws

concrete pillow
sleeping teenager
at the park

last year's palms
burned to ashes
mortality reminder

warm winter morning-
pansies dancing in the breeze
