Breakfast

Some bees feast among /

Spring flowers and fruit buds. /

Some feast on cat food.

Nine years ago

Eggs, age were hidden /

Nine years past, when both were young. /

Spring hides without end.

Possum in my hands /

Baby in the morning sun /

Embracing nature.

By the roadside

Scraped, by the roadside, /

Olde English brown malt liquor. /

Unopened Spring thirst.

Water bubbles

Upon the Spring petals /

New raindrops run and dangle, /

Nourishing old hopes.

Olympic rings

Golden, deep fat fried, /

Round signs of Spring — Onion rings. /

Into the Spring

Lift your hand sky high, /

A soft serve to the new Spring. /

Ice cream jockey rides.

Flames of green

Flames of green, come Spring /

Buds erupt: wild, jaunty things. /

Leaves no more unseen.

Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Thieves”

Thieves

A thousand thieves may /

rip the jonquils from the ground /

but they can’t steal Spring.
