Rain came gently
Flowers bowed beneath it
Cool morning
Freeda Baker Nichols
before the sunrise
cardinal and mourning dove
one December day

the color red
on winter morning
before the snow

A bluebird
is a poem
unspoken

scent of new-mown grass
in afternoon shade of oaks
early September

gold and white and black
perched on garden hoe handle

waiting on flat rock
in flower bed among weeds . . .
only a small frog
no insects in sight
many weeds in flowerbed . . .
little frog still waits

one small flower
by road on Banner Mountain
lonely evening
