The Hummingbird
Swiftest things that run the world,
Hums and beats, their wings unfurled.
Hummingbirds need constant fuel.
Brilliant blooms attract this jewel.
Forward, backward, upside down.
These dashing fliers zip around.
Golden flowers brilliant blooms
Entice birds with shiny plumes.
Blazing Star to Geranium,
Coral Bells to Delphinium.
Flower meadows, patchwork plots,
Scattered seeds in local lots.

Haiku: by R Bronte Brown
Winter folds a tree-
into a counterfeit death
gray, boney, lifeless.

The Dignity of Winter by R Bronte Brown
Wind rustles the leaves.
Trees shimmer yawning deeply,
Anticipation.
Autumn equinox,
the balance of light and dark,
time juncture converts.
Turn your face eastward.
Fall moon on the horizon
blazing golden hues.
Extravagant colors!
A migratory bird's last song.
Light wanes for evening.
Winter grants Fall's wish
for an encore flower dance,
frost procrastinates.
Nature splendor yields
a harvest of abundance,
Thankfulness expressed.
Inner autumn calls,
time to embrace season’s change.
The wind howls for rest.
Winter winds whistling
Indian Summer's last stance
Bowing gracefully
Winter’s dignity
Lifeless trees quiet strength
Autumn seeds nestled deep-
Sheltered.
The Mountain Echoes
Precipitous words
Constant reverberation-
The mountain echoes.
Picturesque shapes
Lurking among the shadows
Craggy Contours
Perspicacity
Reach into the world of words,
to find clear insight.

Fishin' Day with Gramps by RL Brown Fairytale fishing – there is no need for wishing when Gramps comes along, no buckets, no boats, no carrying large totes, just Gramps, Chico and me. A pole in each hand, Crickets hide by the pond bank, Gramps catches the bait. A nibble, a tug- feel the line, ignore the bug. Wait, now jerk the hook. A flip-flopping splash, reeling in a big fat bass little ones go free.
Cold, still, frosty white Frozen precipitation The glistening sun Icicle droplets Drip amid a frozen field Robins drink mid-stream. Cold, still, frosty white Frozen creek, icicles drip. Cardinals swoop mid-stream. (WIP)
First to greet the day, proud strut, surefooted, perched, trim crimson comb Calls the world to wake. Rises with the morning sun. Cock-a-doddle-do
