springtime’s presence here
flower’s garish excesses
sunlight fights viri
poetry, prose, and photography

springtime’s presence here
flower’s garish excesses
sunlight fights viri

first morning of spring
sunlight moving through the trees
tea warms my soul

the warmth of daylight
crocuses heralding spring
now songbirds slumber

suburban sunlight
neighbors socially distant
feeling springtime’s close

the wind blowing cold
painful to fingers and face
sun upon the mountains

sunlight’s downward path
as I wander past the fears
ah, cherry blossoms!


more sunlight each day
and the grace of warmer days
cherry blossoms bloom


the daffodils’ gaze
dancing on the near-spring breeze
while the jays chatter
