In love
for the moment—
Cold November mornings
bring about a closeness until
you leave

For you
time and tide wait.
Seasons change at your whim:
or so you would like us all to
believe.

That fly
ate one whole line!
Quatrain, cinquain, insane:
a poem of any length's just
as sweet.

All wet,
the dog returns
from playing in the snow.
Clearly, the pond has yet to freeze
over.

Over
these many months,
this page waited idly—
not so terribly different
than I

“Than I,”
you corrected.
The emphasis on “I.”
Feeling very proud of yourself,
you smirk.

Victory.
Goal of all Olympians
Pride and joy fill every vein
Whether a medal worn, or overcoming great adversity
Triumph

Triumph
Of the fallen
To have tried, to have failed
Together we mourn their brilliance
Fading

And fall
You who know all
Whose feet touch mountain heights
Whose eyes gaze down from wingless flight
Made small

Made small,
the buttercup
stares in envy at the
daffodil, hoping for a late
growth spurt

Growth spurt
Fluid escapes
Winds and waves, rot and ash
Shaken off like so many fleas
And on

Chasing
the fallen leaves
around September’s yard.
The wind is such a tease, hiding
from me.

Step forth
out from behind
his rotting shadow frown
now blossom fresh in freedom's light
become!
