Into the Spring
Lift your hand sky high, /
A soft serve to the new Spring. /
Ice cream jockey rides.

Rebirth
Life is born in pain /
Reborn within each crisis. /
Love anew again.

Clouds
Morning light, gray clouds /
Earth below, folded in shrouds /
Of deep rays and rain. /

Monday morning writing joke: “Poetic justice”
Photo from Staunton News Leader, 1936
Poetic justice
You divorced me today,
But you can’t take my words away.
My words are worth
All your penny love on this old earth.
You claim you are owed
For being subjected to my odes.
You’ll receive neither cent nor couplet—
I don’t care if penalties double it.
This divorce has no rhyme nor reason,
So, love, take a haiku for the season.
I have given you my best.
I doubt you can stanza the rest.

Flames of green
Flames of green, come Spring /
Buds erupt: wild, jaunty things. /
Leaves no more unseen.

Haiku and photo: “Hanging around”
Hanging around
Cold hanging around /
cleaving its final moments /
to buds come too soon.

One squirrel in the ring. /
Another squirrel waits and wants. /
Sunlight and bird seed.

We will build beauty /
When we make our new world. /
And plant our ugly.

Haiku and photo: “Green leaf”
Green leaf
My green, four-leaf pills./
Am I Irish enough? /
I swallow my pride.

Haiku and photo: “Buds”
Buds
Early morning buds /
brave Spring’s light and cruel caress. /
Tomorrow blooms.
