Roses

Rose petals unfold, /

delicate but embracing; /

beauty blooms then leaves.

“Worth”

Worth

Sunlight finds its worth /

on an April afternoon /

as an Iris glows.

“Welcome”

Welcome

I see the cowbird. /

The brown-headed bird sees me. /

Each welcomes spring.

Through the budding leaves, /

ripples in the sunlight, /

Spring upon the street.

Withhold

Some spring days withhold /

their beauty, their colors,

waiting for new eyes.

wave winter goodbye?

Thrilled by building, /

we raise our houses on sand /

and raze our lives.
