The Jet Set

Tree Swallow banking
through a rush of windy current
nature’s blue chrome jet

Painted Bird

The painted bird
Forever in mid-flight
On the wall scroll

Nightfall

Racing the sunset
A flock of pigeons fly home
Night rouses awake

Tiger Swallowtail

Summery day.
Butterflies aloft
drift down
to bask in
the root of the earth.
Gathering, an admiring rain
pools gossamer
over yellow wings.

Precipice

On the precipice she dances
Red umbrella in the rain
Sure that she would fly
If ever she were to fall
