Poem Category: Garden Sundial

Garden sundial
the tiger-moth wrestling
in a circle of silk.

Sundial garden
a few freckled mushrooms
licked by the cat.

Garden sundial
a highway of spider silk
to the orange tree.

Garden sundial
a dragonfly lands
ahead of time.

Lightning flash
its time
recorded on the sundial.

Cold garden
on the brass sundial
a brown apple core.

Sundial garden
the afternoon heat
making the cicadas shrill.

Sundial garden
the owl hoots
the cat away.

Sundial
the white summer cloud
measuring an hour across.

The spider’s dash to the fly
then losing it–
sundial garden.
