Hissing

Rain on the window -
a hollow, fretful, clammy,
endless hissing sound.

Legs

(revised)

Stand-off: moorhens
flex their long green legs
in a stiff dance.

Tail

(revised)

Silver circles - there
in the shadows, a squirrel
chases her own tail.

From

Flung from the tree,
the flesh-pink blossoms
pulsate.

Dancing

here

Up

get up
and start the day
as if

Clouds

Gnarled and naked
wooden arms hold aloft
clouds of blue.
