fence-post sentinel
strong wings lift…soar swift, silent
red-tailed hawk sights prey

observe morning star
breathe lily-of-the-valley
touch rose of sharon
i belong to my beloved
friend and lover of my soul

walking in fur coat
crisp november afternoon
casting blue shadows
long-legged Lily
meets her short boyfriend, Elmo,
at beagle’s corner.
commence sniffing and wagging…
when he gets too close, she snaps!
we all fall down

Autumn’s glory shines
maples flame and birch blaze
melting into gold
Raindrops fall with tears
windshield wipers ticking time
sorrow’s misty fog
Precious Autumn flies
away to heaven’s blest blue
singing with angels
Sweet life is brief as
burning leaves and turning seasons
ashes to ashes.
(In honor of Autumn Elgersma, age 3, of Orange City who
left this world bereft on October 31, 2013)

The stones will cry out,
“He is coming, He is here!”
Palm branches salute.
This king washes feet,
“Break my body, drink this cup.”
Heart of stone betrays.
He’s crowned, whipped, bleeding;
“My God, have you forsaken?”
Dies on stony hill.
Sunrise in garden;
“Tell me, Sir, where you laid him.”
Stone tomb cannot hold.
haiku…bless you!

Plump red cardinal
dines on snow-dusted seeds, then
flees to frosted spruce.
Winter mittens kit
muscular feline fur ball
balanced on barn door.
Dark cows form huddle
warm breath steaming chilly air
bracing for blizzard.
