Laundry rejoices—
diamond blazes in the sky
in depths of winter.

Shoulder to shoulder,
facing a common challenge:
flowers against bees.

Moon sighting

Special day-time show:
the moon in the southern sky,
for kids who chase dreams.

Rain drops on roses,
whispering breeze in my ears;
winter in full bloom.

Warmth

Close up photo of the leaves and flower of a citrus plant, taken from below the plant, overlooking the winter sun shining down from a cloudless sky.

A protective arm
wrapping around tiny limbs;
winter sun on plants.
