That Bright Spot

A room of windows
western tending in a
northern facing house
To a small boy,
Huge.

Old Trees

Old trees know
Indian summer is
too soon to put on
the color of new leaves

Wildflower garden

Wildflower garden
you grow with abandon
I see flowering yellow
above blanket green

Traces of Jehovah

The waves here
beside this
man-made lake
seem the same
as beside the sea

Patterson Gap Poetry

I was archiving my poems on my other website PattersonGapPoetry which I have now discontinued. Instead, I will be adding them here in some way. I've started with a new tab and one of my earliest poems, "Southern Smile".

Pieces we bring
into this life
and pieces
we leave
