Quickly
Moving
Like a river
January
Days swiftly flowing
Into cold, damp, dark nights
Causing man and beast a chill
As they wish for the breath of Spring
To blow across the land once again
Bringing with it longer days and new life.

Give Thanks
Dont let this day come to an end
Without a word of thanks for it
Whether you faced foe or friend
Dont let this day come to an end
Until a word of thanks you extend
Thank God for life-every bit
Dont let this day come to an end
Without a word of thanks for it

August Sky
Moonlit Summer night
Highlighted by orange glow
Sun’s signature art

Western Sunset
Evening shadows
Sun goes on a beach retreat
Daytime turns dark
Haiku
Time Goes By
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises
Then there comes the moon
Day becomes night so soon
Quickly morning turns to afternoon
Time never apologizes
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises
Triolet
Another Sunset
As night descends
Pushing the sun to earth
Clouds swirl about
Like restless children
Being told “time for bed”
Light grows dim
Trees stand silent
Like sentinels on their watch
Darkness overtakes Day
Word Lune Cascade
Shades of Orange
Western eventide
Apricot puffs dot the sky
The sunset surrounds
Haiku
Diffusion
Winter’s shell of cold
Penetrated by sunshine
Hints of Spring peek out
Haiku
Twilight Hue
Softly night creeps in
Tiptoes on the horizon
Violet hued sky
As the blue sky gives way
To the sun’s red glowing embrace

December 21st
None other can claim
This title that Winter holds
“The Shortest Day of the Year”
