Lace lichen hangs nets
passing fog turns to water
trees bow and whisper

Lace Lichen

The lichen casts its lacy net

to catch the passing fog.

A simple task well done, and yet

It works without applause.

Haiku

sticky spider web

vibrating in the sunlight

captures all who watch

red-shoulder hawk soars

weaving spirals high above

binds my feet to earth

While Waiting

I was waiting, watching, wondering

The red-tail was floating in flat circles

her feathers fashioned full against the pale blue sky

A sudden shift softly sent the silky sailer soaring higher

then, quickly a downdraft dive

deceptively delicate, demanding her full attention

Talons extended, wings held high
she touched down briefly
then glided low and disappeared slowly across the scrub

My stance shifted sideways

and without moving a feather

took a step

stood on the wind

and went where I was wondering

The Cypress Forest

(The Frozen Ballet)

They once swayed to a fanciful ballet

bending at the wind's pleasure,

limber and willing to follow every measure.

Now, dusted with a rusty algae

wind-polished to a silver sheen

they are twisted, and left to lean

in an orchestrated direction

of random, frozen, perfection.
