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