rushing out the door
before the day’s winds -I pause
with the daffodil

grasses opened hands
feathered light of a crescent
splash of morning dew

cleansing the water dish
an owl’s hoot -the ripples spread
a drop of moonlight

the falling spring rain
up and down the iris stems
the falling spring rain

autumn tree pedals
winter-summer stems of grass
spring -flower’s full bloom!

cloudy skies reflect
catkins reach -a symphony
flower shop window

in the box truck’s wake
a rumbling in the alley
birch garden sparkles

a thread of branches
patch quilt sown by many hands
color flows -brittle

in a crooked line
moist scent of soil and moss
a robin hopping

I lower my gaze
looking down at a night sky
shade of a park bench

afternoon showers-
from under winter’s blanket
spring sprouting snowdrops!

Their beautiful glow –
golden Crocus pedals closed
in bitter spring winds

I lie on the lawn
bees buzz flower to flower
-sky of shooting stars
