cold winter night
pictures from scrapbooks
keep us warm

lost love . . .
I gaze at faded
photos

weightless
floating beneath the waves
I breathe

summer moon
above the ocean
stretched out in the sand

bottom quarter champion =

 

 

 

snowy night
the winding road
narrows

storm coming
snow shovel
sits by the door

flickering candles
betrayal surrounds me
only for one night

the new moon
sunrise for
forbidden lovers

 

 

top half champion =  

champion =

 

bottom half champion =

Hawaiian warmth
oily water
from the sunken ship

wind blowing . . .
      over the water
rocking boats

a newborn sleeps
parents await
a beckoning cry

autumn chill
quiet forest
awakened by daybreak

 

 

 
  top quarter champion =  

bottom half champion =

 

bottom quarter champion =

 

 

 

rainy evening
mother and daughter
rolling the dough

father and son
      fog across
the water

warm summer evening
the base runner
 slides into home

at the bottom of the hill
a turtle on its back
my husband laughs
