round, red, ripe tomatoes
fill my basket
the dog pants in the sun

after a long winter nap
the forest
is alive

autumn leaves
red, yellow, and orange
envelop my body

first sunny spring day
her drop top Benz
hugs the road

bitter cold
          a family huddles
to watch a movie

cooking outdoors
children laughing in
the water

like cream in my morning joe
clouds slowly fade
into the night sky

autumn leaves
covering the ground
as I unpack sweaters

in the summer swelter
a snake sunbathes
on the warm rocks

we fly
down the snow white hill
splat!

Christmas Eve
she cries
just one present?

heat of summer
scorching sand
between their toes
