Nature – Page 16 – Poems from in between

Rainy drive

Rain smatters the windshield, streams from my car over the interstate,

Jenifer

When I look out over the empty lake at dusk, and see the overturned sailboats lining the shore, and the day feels full and tired,

Jenifer

I sail in my tiny boat, skimming across the water, gleaming in the sunshine,

Jenifer

There is a deer grazing in our woods behind the bunkhouse,

Jenifer

Leafbuds half uncurled, chilled in the spring air, await their liberation.

Jenifer

Cars, haughty and rushed, hiding drivers’ eyes and thoughts from the pensive sea.
