Tiring the heart--
mountains and ocean
too much beauty

---Santōka

questing towards the Sun
garlic sprouts thrust into Spring
as the snow retreats

Crystals


crystals and bare branch
obvious need
Spring at work, soon
-
krystaller og nøgne grene
indlysende behov

Forår på arbejde, snart
From the gray gravel,
Lifeless, hard and crumbling--
Billowing green plants.



desire

rapt as Narcissus
gazing into the pool's depths
blue heron, stalking



Still as a statue
Merging into the brown leaves--
The Easter Bunny?

..the welcome

calm befriended,
a symphony of petals
fans our capes
and our bemused smiles
welcome this garden sublime

a shilfie  -
sae colourfou
a expeck it tae threip




a chaffinch  -
so colourful
I expect it to speak

..cheer, cheer

spur on,
the lavender's thrusting call
mere no contender
in the parochial garden—
but cheer, cheer, this forthrightness

Flying through the fence
Robin chases his lover
(Who just won't be caught)

..sombre shoot

sombre shoot,
speak of it to me—
each time
the earth surrenders
teach me beloved

White petals drops
to a patchwork
of mixed emotions

Hvide kronblade falder
til et kludetæppe
af blandede følelser
Errant maple leaf
Pokes its head out of the bush:
"I'm a tree!" it shouts.

..days after

well into spring,
frightfully I worry
ballpoint, I plea,
let us once more honor
our season of breath

spring dawn 
birds revved up

Reflection
Blinded by the ice on the pond
I hoped on spring

hyacinths



hyacinths
in a pot on the windowsill
waiting for the spring

Saturday mornıng…



Saturday mornıng…
the daffodils drooping
with snow

..slippers

soon,
we'll be slippering it
to the store
for now, I'll praise
these heavy boots and smile

All though
in the mist of Winter
Mother Earth
show hers impatience
allowing
Snowdrops and Winter Aconite
to show her trust in Spring
