    killer steels

    looking for his master

    Rushing in shallow
    waters, rushing out again

    A waterfall downstream-
    the waves on a war footing
    are running off

    bobbing and diving
    my boys and the ocean
    reflecting delight

    trapped water
    below fallen tree
    little fish in paradise

    autumn rain
    drops above the grass
    sea of ants

    the shallows-
    myriad of tiny silver fish
    fearful of the depths

    Under the rusty grate,
    Limestone rocks
    And green pools

    soothing bubbles
    golden home
    silver fish dance in the shallows

    shallows left behind
    a hurricane's tidal surge
    dragonfly buffet

    alongside white wall
    shady side of sunset--
    blue morning-glories
