farewell picnic—
wind blows the blossoms
off the dogwoods

waking
to dogwood blossoms—
the boys like pink today

april showers!
trudging back
to fetch a snow brush

almost april—
baked apple season
lingers

spring arrives—
new snow bleaches
old snowbanks

the smile that humbles
the cherry blossoms—
too far to see her

rain
on my bald spot—
recalling dry-scalp Aprils

coldest day this winter—
the early buds
miscarry

brushing off the snow—
warm enough today
for a park bench moment
