Waxing crescent moon and Venus at sunset – January 2, 2014
The new year progresses
on a hang nail
of waxing crescent moon
that snagged Venus,
enticing as a diamond pendant.
I linger and wait
as the bright evening woman
lowered her skirt of flannel red
at the feet
of the brittle, cold sky
frozen to the marsh
beyond the tamaracks.
Mid-November in South-central Wisconsin is drab. There is no other way to describe it. Layers of dead, drab brown oak leaves litter the ground. Oak trees tend to keep at least half their leaves until the following spring so the view from my windows is also khaki colored. I’ve reached back into my files for a few photos I took during mid-September of my backyard garden lair while it was in the transition stage from late summer to early autumn. Lot’s of layers of color, texture, and reflections. Let me know what you think. I appreciate your feedback.

I’ve been singing this to myself a lot lately …
