Two Times Ten

~

No longer following sun's path

she's turned inward

head bowed

***

Her petals wither

first rows form

seeds for the birds

Three Times Ten

~

Imagining a place

in my mind's eye

shaded forest stream

~

Refreshing silvery veils

tumble over boulders

covered in cushiony moss

~

Immersing myself gently

into a dark green pool

floating weightlessly

~
Celestial Geisha~white face glows
coy smile hidden
behind a diaphanous cloud fan

Two Times Ten on the Tenth
~
Ten little piggies went to town
came back sparkling brightly
~
Dreaming of the cool blue sea
toes mimic mermaid scales

July 11th, 2014
~
Little finch listens
bright eye shines
satisfied he dips again

Evening Ten
~
Rising Luna~embellished
wondrous jewel glows
never the same twice

Morning Ten
~
Rising early
finding her silver face
suspended in the trees

July 13th, 2014
~
Evening Splendor
~
She rises~enormous~red gold
dominating the Eastern sky
we sit and watch~awestruck
such splendor on this night
~
Celebrating with vanilla moons
ice cream~afloat a chocolate lake
clouds of whipped cream rise
delicious landscape in a bowl
~
Feast for both eyes and senses
savoring each bite~eyes fixed
on the far horizon~she floats
her wondrous face shimmering
