Spring Rain

Spring Rain

bracing drizzle
love’s nudge
to hibernation~

nature’s
intravenous
solution

windfall shower
for hemorrhaging
flowers

heavenly
applause
for paused

painting is by Van Gogh

C’est Vie

C’est Vie

Sun scalloped
Brownstone
Rooftops

Crowing
At stark
Tree tops

Trees stoically
Reticent~ holding
On to self dignity

Aware of imminent
Greening and laden
Branches teeming

Birds piling
Life upon life
Happily nesting

Seasons dawn dusk
Light shadows
Wax, bite dust

Weathervane

Weather does
cartwheels

These days
Keeping

dress
hangars

Holding
hands

hanging
standing

confused
scratching

head
wondering

what will do
what not

the day
am upbeat

about
my selection

weather does
a number and

nosedives
perplexed

hat seller
on my

office corner
finds himself

edgy
should he pack

them away
or still sell them

today
summer stuff

like impatient
ballerinas

cool their
heels

in the wings
ready for debut

that may
or may not

be
soon

*painting by Edgar Degas

Autumn

Autumn

Weaned leaves
Cackle in the wind
Ancient tongues wag

Denuded tree
Arms barren
Empty nest

Crimson fallen leaves
Vie with puddles of light
Who is brighter?

Autumnal weeds
Period of morning
Regenerate post hibernate

drop refrain

Heat loss

comfort gain

 

Rain patter

Baby prattle

feet- rattle

 

shriveled garden

self preens

slaked thirst

 

heat seared flowers

venting spleen

new sheen
