poems - after a long time away - blogging

Pears almost ready

park walking trail

solitude--except for

the butterflies

--PL, from connecting our houses, 1995

~ ~ ~ ~

leaving row of holes

where it paws out earthworms

a small raccoon

--Dion O'Donnel, another day, 2001

~ ~ ~ ~

warm afternoon--

even maple leaves seem

too tired to move

--Edward J. Rielly, Maine,

from Timepieces, 1995

~ ~ ~ ~

drenching rain

lightning playing where the clouds

touch the earth

--Dion O'Donnel, everyday living, 1997

~ ~ ~ ~

By dusty roadside . . . 

  a tiny brook tugging hard

     at wild watercress

--Gertrude Morris, NYC,

from Timepieces, 1997

~ ~ ~ ~

on building's facade

the wind-tousled palms appear

almost debonair

--Dion O'Donnel, from daily walk, 1999

~ ~ ~ ~

"on the groom's side, please"

a woman veiled and in black

attends our wedding

--PL, from So Hot For So Long, 2012

~ ~ ~ ~

coreopsis blooms

lofty pedestrian bridge

slowly taking shape

--PL, from the taste of summer, 2005

juvy cardinal

'chits' and forages for seeds

thrown in the driveway

PL, unpublished 

~ ~ ~ ~

from deep down inside

the bee putting on pollen

from the pink flower

--PL, unpublished
