Odds and ends
Stray cat, tame flowers. /
February spring, March hours. /
Love now, storm glowers.

Color
The daffodils and /
orchid bloom in the window. /
Light stained with color.
Thieves
A thousand thieves may /
rip the jonquils from the ground /
but they can’t steal Spring.
Spring
You came unannounced. /
Arising quickly in March. /
Blooms and promises.

Outside
Outside the window /
Monsters of winter still cling. /
Dry leaves whispering.

An opening
An open mind learns.
An open heart compasses.
An open book starts.

Bare limbs
Bare limbs cannot catch /
The falling sun, yet they hold /
Winter’s fading grip.

My name
I am not Stanley. /
Why does she call me bad names? /
I call her Gertrude.

Dirty legs
Nothing brings forth Spring /
But buzzing and the hard work /
Of six dirty legs.

Sometimes
Sometimes, you beat the /
Tire with the typewriter to /
Get the words to come.
