mid-May
marsh marigolds
along the road
especially beautiful
this year
new green leaves
new green leaves
on trees that knew
the colors
of dramatic autumns
in silence sometimes
and in small ways
new dreams grow

early June morning
early June morning
pelicans fly over the water
a deer walks through the yard
new carnations
in an old glass vase
by the window
poinsettia and lily plants
placed by the back patio door
only yesterday
and still in the house
new green
on evergreen branches
an image loved for years
the small new growth
and lilacs bloom

Four Haiku
how small the song
of an unknown bird
quiet memories
sunrise
daffodils bowed by rain
recover
after a warm day
and worth the wait
forsythia
I wonder
what today’s poem may be
lilacs in the wind
