sunlit stream
a swan feather floats
with the willow leaves

-Paula Sears

winter fog
the frayed remnants
of a sailor’s knot

-Paula Sears

skipping stones
into the sound . . .
cumulus clouds

-Paula Sears

the softest sound
in the sound
morning fog

-Paula Sears

sunlight
through a hole in the shell
mother’s day necklace

-Paula Sears

a fluff of cattail
in the marsh wren’s beak
billowing clouds

-Paula Sears

sharing a handful
of wild blueberries
mountain sky

-Paula Sears

slow river
lingering longer
with the marsh marigolds

-Paula Sears

gentle rain
on the headstone . . .
distant wind bells

-Paula Sears

day-hatched chicks
in a cardboard box
his favorite flannel
