Poem Category: Garden Sundial

By the sundial

the yoga student’s

first soft om.

On the sundial

mother’s gold ring

while she gardens.

Sundial garden

on her father’s shoulders

picking almonds.

Sundial garden

sudden sneeze

the dog finding the cat’s scent.

Sundial

the waterwheel washes

the gardener’s hands.

Sundial garden

the tiger moth gives up

to the spider’s venom.

The spider’s dash to the fly

then losing it–

sundial garden.

Garden sundial

a breeze just as gentle

opens the monarch’s wings.

Garden sundial

a magpie on the canary’s cage

suddenly flies off.
