walking to the pond . . .
friends share
summer afternoon

—NB         

clear path
in the woods,
leaves dappled with sunlight

—KW         

steps down
discovery lane,
left hand arrow

—PD        

  

 

fallen tree
lost in nature—
lightning jagged edge

—PD        

warm afternoon
still pond
nothing to fish with

—FB       

  


pond's edge
nature's view
true harmony

—NB        

at pond's edge
a bee visits
Queen Anne's lace

—FB       

  

 

trees shimmer
in the warm breeze,
water's edge

—PD        

delicate blooms sway
from the weight
of the bumblebee

—KW       

  


 

butterfly wings flutter
past my nose—
summer day

—NB       

smooth ripples
on the pond . . .
a fish jumps

—KW       

  


hot day
cool pines
still no deer

—FB
