Christmas gifts
white kittens
chasing snowflakes.

Mushrooms rise
from the dewy earth
its other hushed births.

Fanning around
their tails’ scent
two dogs in the park.

Long drive home
the sleeping tot’s doll
just nods and nods.

Winter fogs
the tightened pearly web
tightened again .

Zen garden
turn after turn silence
of the green water-wheel.

School picnic
our walk downhill
to join the games of the others.

Fewer migrating geese
out of the storm
out of the rainbow.

Peach orchard
picking the ravages of the hail
that taste as sweet.

Black pond
a frog leaps into
the litter of stars
