Descends
Clouds swell the spring sky. /
Fulsome thunder follows lightning. /
Cat descends deck chair.

Defy
Defying the drought, /
an orange daylily blooms /
in time to catch rain.

Homegrown blue- and rasp- /

See
Do you still see me /
when I cover my tired eyes /
and think you are gone?

Bread
Life lives in moments; /
some of them in the kitchen /
baking bread.

Away from the food! /
One rock dove shoves another: /
feathered bully.

Dreams
May dreams before rain; /
sleep brings quiet beginnings /
beneath gray soaked sky.
