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

Slow Reveal
in a slow reveal
the promise of spring is closer to being realized
branches stand clad in nubs soon to be buds
sparrows and starlings cling to fine branches like leaves that ought to be
time stands ready this season on this trip around the sun
will you be here to welcome the delicate white blooms of the pear tree?
will they enjoy the gentle flicker
in the spring breeze without your fleeting gaze?
it is a slow reveal

in sync with the musings
of the wind, melodies
that speak to maladies

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.

Singing Rounds
Longing for a reprieve, I went for a walk amid piles of snow today. We got about two feet a couple days ago. I wasn’t the only one out though. The neighborhood stray cats were on the prowl again, nothing stops them.
With reduced human movement, birds in snow covered bushes are singing rounds.
through mid morning air
a chorus of lively tweets –
songs of early spring

For Tanka Tuesday over at Colleens where it is the Poets choice this week.
A Rainbow
this cloud lurking overhead
has claimed me
it snuggles in
displacing the thread of hope
I’ve been holding fast to
it flits in the breeze of the blues
swishing through my fingers
at every grasp
I force myself into the garden
it looks thirsty
I turn on the garden hose
and there through the fine sprays
a rainbow
