Micros – Nine

Freshwater pearls and

         Onyx, Sense and Sensibility

*

A road trip in

           Rain.

     A passenger seat read, The Country of the

      Pointed Firs

*

High winds tamed with hyacinth’s

                  Scent

      Snow flurries, translated

*

       A rope ladder ascends an oak,

                  A blue door chosen,

                  Hummingbirds and nectar

                   Glow ruby

*

Girl in pink velvet listens,

    Brahms,

         Cardamom and If On a Winter’s Night

                 A Traveler

*

An hourglass plays flute,

    And nutmeg, and pumpkin pie with hidden

  Compass.

*

Roses in flight

I read August; wait for December.

Lemon meringue pie.

*

Lemonade from cumulus,

    Vertigo,

     North By Northwest in autumn.

  *

Calico cat purrs, then sleeps,

      Hard rain,

Smiling pups.
