It's almost time now--
Thirsty rhododendrons drink
Gentle Spring rain drops.
No food and no birds--
It's a simple calculus
As ancient as life.
Forsythia falls--
First petals carpeting the ground
Signal the deluge.
Collette reaches high
To catch leaves on other side;
(Isn't it always?)
Two wild geese strutting--
Awkward. Not air. Not water;
Exploring the land.
Down by the stream bank
Vivid group of yellow blooms
Lights up the morning.
Christmas ornaments
Have fallen from the mailbox
Leaving gaudy trash.
At base of dark tree
Dandelions shine brilliant--
Spring's many contrasts.
