A butterfly lights

On, of all dogs, this one

Anointed spring king

Determined to perch

On the porch, drenched mocking bird

Shivers off spring rain.

Just home far flier?

Your crookneck wings are welcome,

First osprey of Spring

Biting grass shoots,

A dog in an icy puddle

Tastes spring.

Spring day in Winter

Wasps beat against the window,

Quick black flames of hope

From a muddy rut

Emerald shoots of grass leap up

Sensing the new Spring

Warm Spring afternoon

So still that leaves slitely move

Thunder in the distance

Walking from sunlight

Onto a trail through dark woods -

How cool and humid

On the black mailbox

Cardinal perches, then darts

Too quick for photos

Moonlit silent night

Pissing over the side sounds

Silver ripples spread
