Spring Haiku- 2013



still waiting to bloom,
a late spring understanding
last year’s winter



green grass above
the silent water 
of yesterday’s rain





protests outside the courthouse-
slowly the flood waters
continue a steady rise






hung from a taught pulley,
bound sacks of mortar mix
revolve in hard urban air





momma robin’s belly
cupped deep into her nest-
the world as a single eye






Cry of a Newborn-
Oh the Cruelty of April!







new grads, more art shows,
but one distantly played cello--
best that can be hoped for




Stepping off the porch,
a whiff of decay  
will carry over into June 





Sudden warm rain,
hard grip on a wheelbarrow--
more mud for the garden






new depth of sky
seen through the scent
of white blossoms





all these birds
in this wind
with the children








*FBT will be back up with regular posts in early June.
