winter’s endurance
tested by early spring warmth
cold renewed today
#440- undisturbed
blown open by wind
gate bangs against picket fence
old dog undisturbed

#439 – rattles
frigid spring evening
he makes a nest beside me
wind rattles windows

#437 – blossoms
presents from my boy
three delicate spring blossoms
“ladies like flowers”

#436 – beg
boy slain, shooter free
not begging for forgiveness
unacknowledged crime

#435 -foggy
cut bled through my sock
headless squirrel bits stain the road
foggy morning run

#434 – Books
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

trying on spring’s clothes
winter wears warmth, sun, mild rain
decides not to buy
