Roseate Spoonbills

Habitat Range:

Gulf States to Chile, Argentina

 

Myakka, Florida

David's Blue Lily

My eyes hunger

for sights of innocence

 and simple beauty

and for

perspectives that might

feed a soul

I am enchanted by

the way eyes

feast upon the world 

with or without prejudice

soft-eyed or sharp

I entertain these modest needs

and confess

I am a sucker 

for that which 

 eyes need 

now

The Watering Hole

Let us not argue

about the shape of color

at this watering hole. 

Shapes change. Colors shift.

And we will be gone

soon enough.

Touring Back Yards

The Jasmine is beginning to bloom

just in time to distract me

from wherever it was

I thought I was going.

We are awash in colors here.

Greens and reds wear magenta bibs.

Nothing more need be said.

When history is written in a moment,

Post hole yield or Rune Stone?

runes like this
and lovers of dirt
find each other
as if by accident.
