What a kind fellow
this compassionate bug!
How did he know
I needed a hug?

This wee shiny thing
as bold as you please
is turning my basil
into leafy Swiss cheese.
So much for the pesto
I sigh with a shrug
but perhaps amuse-bouche
made out of bug.

I feel like just an ant
too small to get the job done
but then I think of ants:
there can’t be many without the one.
Thanks again to the S.W. Berg Photo Archives.

In such small space
so great a brightness
in such simple corner
so vast a rightness
not just because it’s Christmas
Christmas comes and goes
but because it speaks of home
which warms the heart and toes.
With thanks again to the S.W. Berg Photo Archives
and to the D.J. Berg Christmas Panorama.

Gardeners’ January
looking back, looking ahead
today’s garden fades
imagine next year’s instead
noting wilt and curl
in universal sigh
hearing Auld Lang Syne
in cicada lullaby.
More thanks to the S.W. Berg Photo Archives.

What to do
when the summer is through
and the garden is all kerfuffle?
Seek golden red
stand on your head
and burrow in marigold ruffle.
