that Walt Whitman
grass before the first mow
you long to loaf
deep in green fields
covered in clover

ginger cat
in daffodils
wind

april 4

pear trees
abandon pearl white
petals to the wind

april 3

periwinkle vine
creepsup my front steps
same color as a
wool scarf i wore
last week

april 2

i cross
the dark river
bridge hums
a warning
song

April First - Poem A Day

tanka april 1

birdsong pierces
dawn neongreen splits
vision time warps
the lemon
moon
