The Thief (mirror cinquain)

Blue Jay,
wildly winging
through the eucalyptus,
squawking blue note Morse code at squirrels.
Noisy!
He flew
back to the hanging peanut patch,
bright Ganiesborough blue boy,
to steal a meal:
Breakfast.

Hybernation (mirror cinquain)

Winter
sings lullabies
that drift on frosty winds.
Dreams are burrowed deep beneath her
mantle.
Icy,
sparkling jewels from her magic wand
shield the earthly treasures
that hide and sleep
below.

Wildcat

Beauty
Fierce, dancing sparks
Consuming, brilliant flame
Shoots warning from your fiery eyes
Demanding, extracting,
Earning respect
Beauty

Butterfly

Fragile
Exquisite form
Queen Monarch of the skies
Orange, yellow, black
Winged beauty of the air
Your colors splash
Fragile

Balance

Seeking
Sanity's crown
In the midst of turmoil
Probing the unknown for answers
That will not be revealed
Tipping the scales
Seeking

Lucky Day

Lucky
Four leaf clovers 
Trifoliates in bloom
Patches of green luck on hillsides
Growing
Reaching
Nature sends her 'good luck' greeting
Gifting a happy day
To the finder
Shamrocks

Easter

Springtime
Keeps her promise
Rising above the earth
To scatter wild, her colors bright
Rebirth
New life
Sweet breath of spring returns again
White lilies raise their heads
To celebrate
Easter

Amber (Mirror Cinquain)

Golden chamber,
A prison of beauty
Where many lives were captured - killed;
A brooch.
Helpless;
Escape denied - solidified.
Trapped in sticky liquid;
Only a bug
Could know.
