Feathery crane

stalks the grey sand 

------

Blue water--

a lone sandpiper

and many gulls.

------

Far off laughter

bright yellow sun, 

bright blue water.

Tall, white crane

Tall, white crane; long, brown
reeds muddy the blue water--
Unseeing cars pass.

One of the Nicest Things I've Seen in Weeks

Deep blue waters, sky
of grey -- the crane's feathers shine
bright white against them.

Not Sure When I Wrote These

Cormorant perched on
twisted metal preens its black
feathers in the sun.

-----------------------


Morning fog obscures
outlines of trees until sun’s
bright light penetrates.

-----------------------


Blue waters rise and
fall with white foam as cranes fly
across graying skies.


-----------------------

The sound of blue waves,
the sight of free cranes in the
sky – these soothe my heart.

Perfect

My feet in warm sand,
wind at the side of my face;
crane drying its wings.
