under the moon light
tan lines

summer pond
the water
provides her modesty

nestled in a hammock
nap time

little girl in the swing
spinning around
happy

letting go
     crimson leaves fall
     from the maple

her hair
golden
before the treatments

lazy afternoon
the rusty mailbox reclines
against a picket fence

silent night
heat lighting
illuminates her thoughts

crimson snow
laying quietly
the rabbit

still forest
fresh snow
Panzers!

walking away
under his boots
the crunch of snow

giving it my all
six inches deep
my shovel breaks
