Tiring the heart--
mountains and ocean
too much beauty

---Santōka

suddenly
forsythia covered bushes
fill the world
the azalea flower
the way it carries the burden
of a bumble bee
on warm winds
the smell of green --
earthworm carves a trail
white Honesty
blossoms in the circle
blue Lungwort blooms
mall run
throughout the parking lot
the scent of fresh manure
a cherry tree
through the gap in the curtains
an urban fox
camellia blossoming  -
a hundred throats
singing
cherry petals
become a cloud of pink snow
compost worms dance
morning ginko
first daffodils lift their heads
and enjoy spring
magnolia petals
scattered in the garden
like happiness
yellow tulips
reflect the morning sun
plum blossom
one hundred
thundering bullfrogs
rock the pond
pollen covers
the pictures in my camera
spring in Georgia
April wind -
on the edge of the path
dandelions dance

***

brise d'avril -
sur le bord du chemin
les pissenlits dansent
white flowers
on the new plum sapling
wormwood's plumes
a cold wind
dries off the night's rain
angry-faced pansies
a test to see if there are line breaks
chore filled morning-
nothing done was on the list
break to watch spring snow
. 
Poisson d’Avril
I gain the pirate's flag
on my blog counter

deer's look
my eyes behind
the camera
rain patters
on the roof of the bike shed
the smell of wet dogs
