Intricacies of Spring

the snow covered field of yesterday

is now a patchwork of grass

and barely there snow

now being tended to

by a meandering wave of returning geese –

the intricacies of spring

Spring

I went for a walk today. The park is still snow layden, white, crisp and has yet to be walked upon. Further down, before I came upon this scene there were lots of geese walking in a line. It seems they were taking care not to walk on the snow. Or maybe they were just foraging. It was odd to see.. a waddling line of geese.

Melting Snow

from solid ice spikes
the unbound drizzle from eaves –
splashy, melting snow

Scribbles

under the awning
watching swirly snow scribble
on this gray winter day,
a gathering of sparrows

Hunger & Strike

a case of hunger
birds stay in striking distance,
snowberry thickets

Thunder Snow

at the edge of spring

thunder snow spreads a blanket

for that one last fling
