Year: 2025

Not everyday These fleeting frost jewels sparkle Smiles of amazement

Shoots of green appear Beneath absolute wetness Snow nurturing earth

Glimpsed hawk silhouette Perched atop cottonwood snag Poised alert patience

Heavy wet March snow Weighs down cotton puffed branches Swaying with the wind

Newborn calves arrive A welcoming sign of spring’s Rejuvenation

She looks down the road Anticipating friend Shine Not knowing he’s gone

Shaggy alpacas Ready to shed winter coats Amuse passersby

Elusive wind shapes Uncloaked in frenzied fury Hurl snow ghosts aloft

Signaled from below Ducks gather gradually To call this pond home

Wind ruffled waters Sparkling ripples catching light Frolic ocean bound
