June 6: Poppies

overcast afternoon

the urge to pick

my neighbor’s orange poppies

April 14: Sleet

Slow drive in sleet.

If birds, he’d be a swift,

I’d be a waxwing.

March 6: Weather

change of weather

the look on his face

when I get home

March 3: Storm surge

storm surge

everyone posting photos

of things underwater

February 25: Weather

sun then snow then rain
the weather too
can't make up its mind

February 23: Cold rain

freezing rain

even the cat mistakes it

for the scurry of mice

February 11: Sunday morning

Snow melted by rain.

Cat and I on the back porch

sniffing the air.

January 13: MLK, Jr. Weekend

Holiday weekend.

Voices of river and rain

blending in the dark.

January 12: Meltwater

January thaw—

sounds of running water

even our thoughts fluid

January 11: January thaw

January thaw

snow dripping off the eaves

something loosed in my heart

September 20: Storm

Wakened in the night

by wind rattling my door.

Ghost stories.

September 8: Hurricane 2

Hurricane season.

Radar shows clouds of songbirds

making their way south.

September 7: Hurricane

Tracking the hurricane.

Last night I dreamed

of staring ghosts.

September 4: Dark night

powerless

on a dark and stormy night

until we're asleep

June 29: Monhegan House

From my island room:

shifting cloud and light show,

gull on a near chimney.

Across the lake

drifting shapes of ducks

disappear into the mist.

October 6: Hurricane tracking

wind in the oak trees

acorns rain down like hail

we don't know what's coming

February 24: Drink the rain

Something about the weather

makes us think about

drinking wine with lunch.

November 13: Meteorologist at Pecha Kucha

On the weather map--

El Nino's colors and swirls,

work of an artist.
