My name
I am not Stanley. /
Why does she call me bad names? /
I call her Gertrude.

“Beguiled”
Beguiled
Beguiled by Spring’s smile, /
tight blueberry buds relax. /
Promises and hope.

Catching
Catch the crescent moon, /
weaving through barren branches /
leaves of light leaving.

I am
I am a bird,
made of star stuff.
To the Phoenix, I return.

Sun shines through one face. /
In each of us, a thousand. /
Select one and shine.

Two leaves search for spring. /
Rain falls and searches the leaves. /
New starts and old ways.

“Blue dot”
An astronaut aboard the Apollo 11 took this photo in 1969.
We claim this blue dot. /
The seasons share our small sphere, /
and yet, we cannot.

Photo finish Friday: “Entwined”
Entwined
Old and new embrace. /
Winter entwines with Spring: /
leaves both brown and green.
