Release
curled fern fronds unfurl
breathing night into new day —
star drops release dew

Dance
sidewalk oak leaf dance
jazzy hip-hop autumn waltz —
melody of wind

Promises
old cell heartwood
promises structural strength —
ancient dating rings

Sunlight
beautiful breaching —
whale leaps out of sea water
chasing sunlight ray

Gold
Who will get the gold?
dog and cat run through wheat field —
nature’s Olympics

I use the Olympic Rain Forest, the Cascade mountain range, and the Puget Sound as inspiration to write about causes, with a bent towards magical realism.
