Green Grass on the White Road

Green watercolor paint splashed
On the snowy road ahead.
I stepped on the brake to get a closer look,
Amazed to see the large patch of
Green grass. Emerald vivid.
Yet they were lifeless,
Finely shredded.

Another surprise–
Dismembered little hooves!
Anything else gone, including the container
Which had been enjoyed
The precious meal.

Shredded grass and the little hooves
Danced in my nightmare.
I would turn that sentiment into
A warning flag and plant it
In the careless driver’s conscience.

Mountain Brook Cattail

Memory of swamp days
Make me wonder,

If mountain stream is better
than the swamp for me.

The clean brook flows by,
tossing at me a funny look.

I miss the marsh-smell of the old swamp.

Freezing October

White coveralls
Thrown on
Blue spruce and
Golden cottonwood
Concerned Mother Nature
