teeming with new life-
a spring fling

soft coo of a dove

Am linking to OLN (open link night) over at dVerse Poets Pub where the hist Mish asks us to share ONE poem. Stop by for a read, or to participate here
It is especially windy today, and a bit cold. It feels like a leftover winter day. The pear tree is up in arms. Limbs are being tossed about and there are blossoms everywhere. They are on the car, the steps, the yard next door, the sidewalk and the short japanese maple. It was weird seeing falling blossoms perch on the maple’s leaves, if only for a moment.
The toddler next door is in his front yard with his grandmother. I pause to watch him from the porch as I wave hello to the grandmother. Why are they even outside on a day like this, I wonder. Cabin fever perhaps.
He is fascinated and is trying to catch blossoms in midair. Of course, he never really catches any. Yet, at the present moment, he is very much in the present and there is fun to be had.
spring wind cuts a path
carpet of pear blossoms with
vanishing footprints..

this ghostly remains
now a part of the landscape –
new life, as still life

Amidst decay, there can still be beauty as nature plays her part.

exploring begins
for this springtime butterfly,
barely there blooms hide-
just a lone dandelion,
no mislaying this spring lure
