diamonds sparkle
raindrops captured
on the screen --
tears of an old woman


* * *

goldfinch and tiger lily
the colors -- yellow and orange -- blaze!


* * *

spin cycle
rotation
time measured
cyclists click by
the hour curves round --


* * *

hugs and kisses
the fragrant herbs of love --
children play in the garden


* * *

yarns weave
needles click
and memory rests
her burden by the fire --
