his words

acrylic on canvas by Peggy Radcliffe

his words leave his heart

impression on everyone

who hears forever

fishing fashion

paint on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

wears fisherman's hat

even when he's not fishing

and the fish don't mind

sun no sun

paint on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

sun and then no sun

cold gray day after warm night

it must be springtime!

a chance of spring

paint on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

 

morning clouds then sun

windy maybe thunderstorms

and a chance of spring

shopping for fun and not

paint on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

kids push shopping cart

in game but shopper must shop

without shopping cart

welcome wasp

paint on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

first wasp of spring

buzzes outside the window

Buddha says welcome

waiting for rain to quench grass fires

paint on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

no rain and grass fires

dry wind blows smoke into town

what would Buddha breathe

traffic can wait

 paint on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

geese crossing the street

to graze on suburban lawns

drivers stop their cars

fall leaves

 brush on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

old leaves survive snows

winter leaves room for springtime

fall leaves reminders

flowers boom

 brush on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

rainstorms bring thunder

tornado on horizon

daffodils pop up

loners at the pond

 brush on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

geese in groups eat grass

but one forages far away

lone man walks the path

natural facts

 brush on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

don't know if gods exist

but the pond's full of creatures

great and small and real

fish no fish

Brush on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

people fish the pond

rarely do they catch a fish

but water birds do

defying gravity

Brush on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

a goose flies overhead

at the pond they look too fat

wide wings make it so

human progress

Brush on paper by Peggy Radcliffe

birds perch on power lines

if telephone poles come down

birds will perch in trees
