Clouds & Spring

#Tanka Tuesday

 

rain clouds all day, a
gray haze blankets springs newness
pelting rain drops plop
so we wait, the birds and I
listening to sound of spring

Hard & Soft

from hard frozen ground
the most delicate seedlings –
the magic of spring
brings old limbs a taste of youth
clad in soft delicate blooms

Unmelted Snow

near unmelted snow
purple crocus cradles sunlight
heralding spring

Teach Me Tonight by Amy Winehouse

I didn’t really know much about her. Turns out she was a mess, but who isn’t? I really liked the way she covered this old classic Teach Me Tonight.

Writing

writing – soul surfing
corrals demons on paper
sometimes in ink
most times in blood
chasing sanity

comes a brush of frost
crocus blooms
