back door pile of snow
still hanging in there but I
keep kicking it loose

melting melty melt
trickles of cold escaping
water down driveway

A cat just blew by
And there goes another one
This wind really blows

Blue Monkey casts its spell:


Spring energy coiled
swells the gathering wave ...

clear cerulean sky, chill start
warms so fast the weather
magic nearly takes my breath ...

limbs & trees downed by last December's
storm emerge like beached whales
from the ebbing snow pack,
easy to reach now without need
of snow shoes to carry me
scudding over the frozen sea ...

chickadee pours a wild freshet
of melody, crow's cawing marks its passage,
red squirrel's shrill scold sounds
above the mourning dove's steady bass ...

slim maple trunk braceleted
by strands of neat-drilled holes
reminds me sapsuckers soon will appear
to tap the trees' spring bounty,
chasing
calling
caroming
through the woods ...
