How do poems happen
a poet sees a tree, a star, a moon
or nothing at all
they feel a leaf, a sparkle, a glow
and then they just know.

a pale golden light
streams from a distant barn
horses stamp and neigh
to a sugar-soft country sway.

A chill creeps
Into the night
Coaxing
A coat of white
It cascades
Around the sky
And crumbles
To the ground
Creating
Winter's bed
While the world
Is sleeping sound
