Snowman


tiny snow man yosemite
Snowman
Stand above trees,
climb falls, and
defy melting.
Laugh at stealers.
Water made hand.
Create balls of ice.
Nourish the forest.
Lodge pole pines
give oxygen love .
Make
great
build
think
do
artfully
new.
Get to work
snowman.

Snow Angels

snow meadow Yosemite
Yosemite meadow whispers, 
wind brushes snow. 
"Where no man has gone before!"
 My brother says, dropping his body 
prone on his back 
then laughs hysterically, 
swim his arms and swish legs.
Leave a perfect angel.
Back out cover tracks, 
 branch of cedar perfume.
Driving home pass the valley
 where  El Portal rests
under the cover of fog.
Is Cary Stayner still alive?
Do ghosts haunt the town?
His brother returns from abduction, 
scarring the family.
Those Devils never learned how to make snow angels?

Life's A Rush

blur lake caroline gerardo
Life's A Rush  Caroline Gerardo
Day break
Life's a rush
passing lane 
robin fell from cloud
red breast signs of cheer
a greeting of spring
  boys are prettier
 digging the front garden 
What got him?
 a crow 
West Nile 
 drought
peaceful, 
yes full
Robin poem Caroline Gerardo
saving cibachrome 
appears less sad
iphone 4 is my camera
shopping for a drone
to fly.

Soar
dart and carbon wind
speed will stabilize
high above the lake
where gnats swarm
my robin need only
open his beak
to enjoy
a fill of 
mossy
life

Bandy Leg Hike Yosemite

By Snow Creek Trail
Bears won't bother
Busy camp trash cans
Breath ice air azurite
Balsam warm views
Beauty feeds souls
Bottom river blue
