Devil’s love

Love-in-a-Mist is /

Such is motherhood.

Three leaves

Three leaves gather rain. /

Heavy with sky, touch the ground. /

Glistening repose.

Rose’s mind

I will never know /

that you planted it.

Iris rise from dark soil, /

bloom and fall from light.

The Park

Spring strolls through the park. /

Shaking green from her sleeves and /

Color from her eyes.

One raindrop hangs /

from one green cherry hanging /

on one young tree’s growth.
