mid-March...
the increased desire
for corned beef

From the roof top
beautiful birdsong emerge
Blackbird

A dressing gown
fetching the morning paper
silence Blackbird

Stop and listen
song from heart
Blackbird

Expression
hope and new start
Blackbird

sunshine
streaming through half-closed curtains
trees rocked by wind

orphanage window
plastic flowers bloom
in the snow

It’s in the air

spring hunger-
and my crocuses
are roses
_____________________________________________

young blades
stitch through old snows --

cruel spring

dream catcher rain
allows the earthworms to be
sea horses for a day

Happiness
in a ray of hope--
the new sun

overnight rain
brings the misery of mud
loose hair is wind streamed

A New Approach

even the pebbles
seem to have borne a new approach
a newfound glint
each bud, each footstep
on trail, too, lends significance

snow on distant hills -

spring funeral -
carefully into the earth
carefully covered

the garden
still covered in brown leaves
a dog at the window

pale crocuses
