The springtime wetland
Chorus comes alive at dusk
As the peep frogs sing
Category: Spring
Hope
From the sheer cliff face
An eager seedling rises
Grasping at the sun
Garden
Dark flowers bloom as
Small drops of rain release the
Incense of the earth
Alone
In the lone white oak
A solitary squirrel
Calls out for its mate
Pond
a box turtle’s shell
barely breaking the surface
gently making waves
Zephyr
The cold winter breeze
Whispers empty promises
Of the coming spring
Spring
Wafting on the breeze
There comes the gentle scent of
A lilac in bloom
Steam
A humid spring day
Sudden rain soaks the asphalt
And leaves it steaming
Glow
Crowns of barren trees
Dipped in the gold of sunrise
Turn to burnished bronze
Spring
Driving, lost in thought.
Brought back to earth by the smell
of freshly cut grass.
