Buds contemplating
Spring’s gentle warming, light air.
An unexpected
Cold snap would be their demise.
Zapping sap and strength from boughs.

Naked Anticipation
She awaits his touch
Just as winter awaits spring
Petals unfolding

Fresh Catch
Talons pierce soft flesh,
A fish struggles for freedom.
Fresh dinner is served.

Washing Dishes
Blue and white dishes
Washed by a soft summer rain.
Clear signals to come.
Morning Cup
Azure morning cup,
Coffee on the open sea,
Salty perfection.

“Mitos”
Chromosomes copy,
Genome and nucleus divide,
Twin daughter cells are born.

Knife
Thin, cold, sharp knife edge
Cuts soft sinew and hard bone.
It’s not personal.

Fleaker
The cross ‘tween a flask and a beaker
Is commonly known as a fleaker.
Here chemistry’s played
When reagents are made,
In glass that is stronger, not weaker.

Seafood Booty
Luscious gifts from sea,
Jewels of bright red and pink
Sweetness mixed with spice.
In response to Photography 101: Treasure
Rain
Rivulets of rain
Cascade down my heaving breast
Arms outstretched with joy
