each leaf
an unfurled flag
of optimism and renewal
Hoisted By Branch and Twig
Red Maple Ghost
like an apparition
she lingered
behind the crabapple
Lichen Rose
flower heads
slightly bowed
in reverence to the rain
The Chairs’ View
sit awhile
and watch spring
wander over
Magnolia Clouds
pure as a new spring day
the scented breeze
and petal’s shadow play
The One With Many Names
sand flower, windflower, prairie smoke
heralding spring and symbolic of old age
she’s of everything
Oh April
with her sky
of many blues and
another coating of snow
Sparkling White Sanguinaria
like clouds
with sun centers
early spring gifts
Psychic
the four pawed palm reader
divines
daffodils soon to bloom
Bird With Leaf Buds
before the leaves
the buds
before the nest
the plan
Always In April
and sometimes in May
a snowfall surprises
freshly unfurled leaves
Red Maple Flowers
red pompoms
raised high in the deep blue sky
cheering on spring
Miraculousness
the daring of the early bloomer
tiny yellow trumpets
hail the sun
Spring’s Many Faces
last year’s corn
a stubble on the field’s
greening face
Breaking Free
verdant with spring
the brook rushes
toward sunlight

of green
foreshadowing spring

each blade a splash of light

of delicacies
for eyes and insects

to the fiddlehead’s tune

in the meadow

of a nest
built on a slope

laughing in the sun
