blue skies
and leaves
finding new forms
Early Spring Abstracted
The Emerald Forest
the green carpet
spring makes her
entrance on
Crocus
petal bowls
containing the gold
of sunshine
Reminder
April is fickle
spring is near
but not yet here
Winter Reconstituted
at night
ice made anew
from yesterday’s melt
Chipmunk In Morning Sun
basking in
the divine caress
of spring warmth
Color Begins
pulsing
through the branches
the desire of spring
Blow Down
the wind delivered
a lichen corsage
to an icy ‘spring fling’
The Restlessness Of March
learning from the meadow
I will try to love
the still gray sky and stubborn snow
Everything Bloomed In White
still so cold
but the glittering snow
spoke of spring
Drifts Drift
along with snow
dreams keep gathering
as the birds begin to sing
eventually, eventually spring
Awaiting Spring
this fringe of cold
the beauty before
the beauty of leaves
Field Of Dreams
the many many seeds
now gone to bed
to dream and conjure up our spring
Quaker Ladies
they gathered
in abundance
to worship spring
Granite Garden Path
walk the sun warmed stone
admire the colorful creep of phlox
perceive spring’s unfolding
The Valley In Spring
clouds flying free
the rail fence meanders
as trees converse in green
Sea Of Iris
spring’s tide rises
the iris swell
incubating their bloom wave
Reassurance
constants
the river, the mountain
the flowers return
the renewal of spring
Rock Garden Early Risers
beneath the arch
of bleeding hearts
grapes of hyacinth
Every Filament Alive
each catkins’ antenna
receiving the news
the time is now
Opening
each leaf bud
a catchall for light
incubating life
Spring’s Bread
come and share the table
no need to bring a thing
we will feast on green
The World Is Drawn Anew In Color
the slow rousing of spring
color and life
sneaking up beside you
First In The Garden
to the old oak leaves
piled by the wind
spring offers a pink bouquet
They Bloom In A Bunch
lean in, lean in
and be transported
on the sweet scent of spring
Flowering Light
like the sun
forsythia an orb of light
rising from the April lawn
Heading North In The Brave Little State
the green mountains
still wearing white
spring’s ascent is slow
The Energy Of Spring Seen
colors gather and intensify
until they burst
into bud, blossom and leaf
Arrival
the crocus arrived
as an outpost
of hope
Grocery Store Blooms
I purchased some hope
from isle thirteen
giving myself early spring
