~Tahoe Black~

The birds are choking

What doesn’t fire consume?

The mountain remains

~Tahoe White~

Graceful sloping lines

Twisting snowy locks cascade

Face of powdered white

~Tahoe Grey~

Perfect grey jewel

Dripping in silver nuggets

Dislodged they tumble

~Tahoe Blue~

Soul deep and sight wide

Tahoe blood‘s blue as water

Shades unlimited

~Tahoe Time~On my way today

I watched the birds as they played

I hiked ruddy trails

Sun passed, dirty, I arrive

Not late, I’m on Tahoe time

~Rosebud~

Like powder and silk

You dazzle with your rainbow

Hid weapons repel

Image: Pink Magnolias, or a Tulip tree, by K.B. Silver

~Tulip Tree~

Broad soft pink petals

Subtlety I long to see

Pre-crafted bouquet

~Calla Lily~

Gilded and wrapped

Pheasant, silver, copper, gold

Adorned for a bride

~Minty~

Temperature, flavor

Frosty taste buds, singed nose hairs

Lingering essence

~Bonsai~

Nature miniature

Collect beauty in a dish

Perfect scissor stroke

With one wrap stress dissipates

Shape leaves into fairy gates
