approaching a pond
delighting in the frogsong
Basho’s memory
Walking in my neighborhood, there are a few ponds. Tonight I noticed the frogsong…for the first time this spring. I doubt the frogs have been silent until tonight. Probably just the first night I was out late enough.
rain speckled petals
grey motion above the trees
the colors of spring
under the sunlight
the seduction of flowers
bees singing their song
moving through darkness
still hints of dusk through the trees
birds dreaming of dawn
hearts sing in sunlight
glorious cherry blossoms
dancing hummingbirds
cherry blossoms fade
azaleas celebrate spring
life continuing
Spring marches on. Summer will be here before we know it. Time’s relentlessness.
ah, cherry blossoms!
yet there are more plants blooming
much beauty in spring
a crow staring
upon the weathered fence board
a spring morning
How are you doing with our social distancing? As something of an introvert, this isn’t as challenging as it is for so many friends. I hope you’re finding peace during this time.
walking in the rain
flowers in all their glory
fireworks of spring
sunlight from the east
I seek to start every day
crafting a poem
Good morning everyone! Wishing peace this first Friday of April.
