imploding zinnias,
memories of fireworks
dreams of summertime

seriously, can
there be any doubt? Our God
is an awesome God!

"cauliflower snow",
that's what my daughter calls it,
painting word pictures

"thunder snow" last night
ice pellets drumming on the
windows, then lightening

the squirrels were frantic
yesterday, kamakazes
in search of morsels

it doesn't take much,
really--thread, material,
ideas and time

the wedding gown is
all done; vows will come and then
forever after

in search of solace
I manufacture a place,
a quiet shelter

Me, subtle?

clicking sparkly red
shoes, I immerse myself in
the comfort of here

just a cake, just a
dress, just a wedding, no! please
just get excited!!!

More complicated
than it seemed at first glance, "crab
claws" can be tricky
