in a community
that is a flower

colors flowing
alongside
the river’s current

hens and chicks
multiplying themselves
hue after hue

like bees in a swarm
the trees industrious
in pollen production
Always Remembered For

each year
in a multitude of tininess

the kind of day
that heals hearts

so fresh and full
revel in their joyful greeting

a crown of raindrops

in the woods
leads to fairyland

the cheering section
for spring

Early Spring Party Guest
one of the first to arrive
forsythia’s hostess gift
the light of a flowering sun
Elegance
a flowering baton
conducting the first notes
of the symphony of spring
Another Kind Of Warmth

of daffodil sunshine
graces the hillside
Good Counsel
morning found me fragile
the crocus advised
of its potential
Right Sized In The Woods
Buddha sat
his moss cushion
made of granite
In The Greenhouse
immerse in
the color and scents of spring
still too fragile for outdoors
How To Strut In Place
like a peacock
pussy willow fans
its fuzzy plumage
Dreams At The River’s Edge
spring came
supple and green
winter threats were banished
First To Appear
glory of the snow
their bravery belies
their tiny size
Diversion
the beavers’ work
the field now
a vernal pond
Flowering Sunset
the night
unfurls herself
like a rose
Always With A Flourish
nothing
is ever too old
for the delight of ruffles
The Maples Blush
spring sky so blue
its depth
infinity
April On The Marsh
a small hole
in the cloud cover
blue breaking through
Brightened By
a joy like the joy
of seeing an old friend
the cheering effect of pansies
Souls Bared To The World
naked trees
in the golden meadow
strength in vulnerability
