Weather
the world is changing
trees and grass and peace are gone
don’t leave me behind
Traffic
Claustraphobic crawl
cars obscure my journey’s end
discourteous traffic
Time
Monstrous crushing waves
melt the small snandcastle walls
tale of passing time
End of Day
Summer evening dusk
Stealing light form college halls
Gone home for the night
Rainfall
Window wet with rain
Drops fall from the cloudy sky
Distracting weather
Daylight
Summer morning rays
Chasing greyness from my room
Ubiquitous light
Road crossing
Broken traffic light
Pressing button time and time
Destination blocked
St. Patricks Day
Lively dancing fun
Crowds awash with streaks of green
Patricks day parade
Working in the Garden
Yellow fuzzy stripes
Collecting red flower nectar
Very busy bee
