Scattered stones
All the good friends
I’ve left behind

Scattered lilies
All the good friends
I’ve left behind

Missing socks
All the good friends
I’ve left behind

Fever spiked
Season’s first
forsythia bloom

Fever broke
Season’s first
forsythia bloom

Hard rain
A traveler holds open the door
for a stranger

Hello
Distant
bluebird

Homebound
Hummingbird hovers
sipping nectar

Penned panther
Can’t catch
my breath

A leaf rises and twirls
and falls with the breeze
That uncovered sneeze

A hermit
crab scuttles
The patient fish

Rabbit stirs
My mother’s
dry cough

Honeysuckle wrapped
throughout the hedge
Infection spreads
