touched by a moonbeam
tranquil lake shivers silver
~ripples reach my ears
listening closely, I hear
lowest hanging clouds murmur
hanging clouds murmur
mischief firing up some fun
~pillow fight follows
sudden unexpected kiss
below falling down feathers
falling down feathers
caressing cherry blossoms
~April rain showers
shivering streams of silver
matting our hair as we dance
as we dance all night
starlight splattering on souls
~ summer sighs softly
as time’s tender tendrils tug
temptingly towards autumn
autumn always clicks
photographs in sepia
~ I’m thinking of us
thoughts flurry in photographs
like snow in the negatives
a flurry of snow
when wayward winter winds whoosh
in a gust of glee
off-grid up in the mountains
renga partnership on pause
partnership on pause
winter ice and summer sun
~ melt to meet again
rivulets rush rapidly
flowing freely together
rushing rivulets
rumba in rugged rhythm
~ rapture on the run
grrrowling in utter delight
bear cubs wrestle on the banks
wrestling bear cubs laugh
catching snowflakes as they fall
~ into each other
mama bear splashes nearby
~ looks like fish for lunch again!
splashes nearby
squirrels run helter-skelter
bushy tails must dry
skittish fawns sip crisp water
wise doe eyes big mama bear
fireflies flitter
festive forest fairy lights
fire up furry friends
finches flip-flapping for fun
friendly ferrets frolic forth
tickled by a prank
hedgehogs roll over laughing
spraying pins on pines
distracted by silliness
they struggle with their renga
waterfall of words
wrapping wild winds of wonder
~ nature’s poetry
A renga by David of The skeptic’s kaddish and me of mindfills. Thank you David for a delightful collaboration. Here we go again…
