Poem Category: Garden Sundial

Sundial garden
the sleep the owl is losing
to the cold of the moon.

Sundial garden
a breeze spilling
the tulip-cup’s showers.

Garden dawn
the sundial recording
its singing hour.

Sundial garden
sudden sneeze
the dog finding the cat’s scent.

Garden sundial
a mouse looks up from
the passage of the moon.

By the sundial
the children’s pet grave
… another lesson.

Garden sundial
each cloud pass
taking time.

Sundial garden
in the rows of carrot heads
our curled cat.

On the sundial
…. butterflies….
the breezes from their mating.

Sundial garden
stopping the autumn rustle
the smell of burnt leaves.
