Last light
The sun recedes. /
The nearly full moon gives chase. /
The clouds hold last light.

Photo finish Friday: “Rusted heart”
Rusted heart
Tin man rusted his heart, /
not in Emerald City, but /
behind fallen eyes.

“New hope”
New hope
February jonquils, /
early yellow among brown, /
herald spring’s new hope.

“Flap Jack”
Flap Jack
There once was a pancake bed,
Soft as anything said.
I laid down for a nap.
Woke up as a flap,
Filled suddenly with syrup and dread.
Kafka! I cried from my sleep.
He appeared and began to weep.
Then with his fork,
He made his first stroke
And I felt my syrup drip and seep.

“Setting sun”
Setting sun
Tabby cat sits in /
the setting sun’s amber glow /
and parade of leaves.

“Silhouette”
Silhouette
Bare limbs silhouette
before a fiery dusk sky.
The sun hies to night.

Touch
Not so long ago, /
morning light saw frosted leaves /
holding winter’s touch.

Sunlight and shadows /
bare trees and winter dreams /
weave through the alley.

“Failure”
Failure
Is their poetry /
in failure? Bleak winter sun /
pockets its promise.

Light and shadow and
the morning at play beneath
the rising sun.
