Spring shadow
Frost etches brown leaves /
Clinging to the young oak tree. /
Ice shadows blue spring.

Whisper
Bend now bare limbs /
burdened by the clouds passing, /
whispering of spring.

Lost
What spring leaves embraced, /
bare branches cannot caress. /
Dappled sunlight lost.

Work
Leaves start falling, but /
flowers continue blooming, /
and bees build for spring.

Folded beauty
The folded beauty /
Of fading flower petals /
Ends not Spring’s bloom.

Hope for the creek
The Hail Mary here /
Is neither pass nor prayer /
But hope for the creek.

Purple Iris
Petals up and down /
Shining in the sun’s pleasure /
Bright beard on curled tongue.

The Park
Spring strolls through the park. /
Shaking green from her sleeves and /
Color from her eyes.

Each
Each Spring ends too soon. /
Each Iris blooms but briefly. /
Each bloom, timeless joy.
