Haiku - Late September
oak’s coy hint of red
blushes shy leaves midst the green -
sunset steals day’s warmth
goldenrod plumes nod
as twilight shows off the stars -
the fire pit crackles

First Blooms
Ruby, canary,
white, and purple heads waking
tulips in my yard.
Yawn and stretch petals
to salute the sun, smiling
full blossomed beauties.

To fly with eagles,
Refreshing goal is delight,
As all souls are one.
Wings alight to sky,
Floating feathers on air waves,
Living kites in flight.
