Rest those Eyes

crabapple blossoms
create a cute kitty cave
on a cool May morn

Renaissance

all i want today
is to watch the sunlight shift
on these reborn blooms

the blue-sky morning
can't capture a year of loss
(oh Lord, that sweet scent)

yet afternoon light
so perfectly shines rosy
(ends this hell-frost year)

the tulips have bloomed
as bright as a sunny day 
ending spring’s late start

a new moon rising
bringing blossoms to springtime
blooms: the cat's meow

queen of Saturday 
loves to watch us do yard work 
from her bed blue throne

when April snow comes,
she draws perfect silhouettes 
before spreading soil

despite a cold snap
brought by April treachery 
spring blooms bring beauty

sometimes a small bloom
from a broken, displaced plant
is all a day needs

even its roots wait
patiently in their soil
basking in the sun

ski season is done.
we’ll have to make do with yards
full of happiness.

Dad building raised beds

in the middle of winter

in hope of spring growth
