By Reckless Design

With mouth full of seeds

Cardinal looks around to check--

Always on his guard 

Coffee roasting smell

Fills the kitchen and my nose:

Morning has arrived.

Tulips on the lawn,

Dandelions around them--

A sprinkling of Spring.

Flat stain on the road.

Was it a living creature

Or discarded paint?

Dandelions share

Lawn and shadows with violets;

Both glow in the sun.

Stream bed's bare again;

It's still waiting for water;

Yet it wends its way.

Dandelion puff--

Small, but first of the season,

Soon will launch its seeds.

From walk of Thursday, April 28, 2016

Stump, straw and flowers

Occupy neighboring space

By reckless design.
