A foggy moon
and she was sleepy
gazing out the window
all dreamy

snow battering
a dim streetlight's glow.

Red fruits in season
shiny russet apples
scarlet cranberries
the deepest burgundy plums
and you, my heart's ripest love.

The clouds lounge
causing long shadows
to caress darkened windows
what lies behind silently
waits the coming rain.

The lights barely blinking
fading then finding bright
red, yellow, green, blue
my minds finds the white
and shines like stars at night.

Soft falling snow
would bring me peace
dulling the clamoring din
settling into sharp edges
a sifting of sweet silence.

the cream colored plates
with tiny strawberries
painted in deep rose and red
lovingly she served herself
sweet tea and toast.

How do poems happen
a poet sees a tree, a star, a moon
or nothing at all
they feel a leaf, a sparkle, a glow
and then they just know.

a pale golden light
streams from a distant barn
horses stamp and neigh
to a sugar-soft country sway.

tosses a trembling palette

grass and petals
