A Page of Spring
A morning song climbs the skies
Ah, the loving kindness
of April
*****
Cherry blossom in bloom
Melting the fortress
of winter
*****
Ribs of rainbows
arching to
A ceremony of sun and skies
*****
Winter's fat form
Steel white, to silver
slivers of ice
To rumble with thunder
To melt into puddles
To a rain of promises
To mushrooms under oaks
To forsythia's arms spread wide
To leaves on the trees
To April shouting
a golden splash of daffodils
January Morning
Melancholy season
devoured in a single breath
by a chenille veil
Thrown across
a January morning
