I feel so chilly
Sitting here at the table
Without companions.

#120

Seems so far away,
The warmth of the summer months.
This spring is too cold.

#119

An absence of clouds
Does not guarantee warmth.
Spring is still chilly.

Even at midday,
Ducks have their beaks tucked away,
Taking a long nap.

#117

Outside my window
A heron seeks grass and twigs.
Is she building a nest?

#116

Good food can be found
At a gathering with friends.
A feast and fun times.

The weather report
Tries hard, but is often false.
Better not to read.

#114

One day there is rain,
The next, the sun shines too warm.
Spring is so fickle.

#113

Little drops of rain
Tickle my face as they fall.
I don't mind at all.

#112

Strawberries and cream,
A delightful summer treat.
I count the days down.

#111

Silly little games
Pleasantly waste afternoons.
At times, simple's best.

As the wind howls,
The cat dashes in your path,
You think, "What a storm."

#109

The students' chatter
Brings back many memories.
I am feeling old.

#108

The smell of coffee,
Rich, dark, tempting, inviting.
I will rest here some.

#107

Water in moonlight
Shimmers like obsidian.
It's a different world.

#106

Picked on by the gods,
One can only beg mercy
That falls on deaf ears.

#105

Nevermind the spring.
Life goes on heedless, unkind.
I'm already dead.

#104

Such feelings of loss,
Despite this season of growth,
Are sharp and acute.

#103

Snowflakes on flowers-
Quite the unexpected sight!
But that is our spring.

#102

A sleeping puppy;
Chest gently rising, falling.
I feel envious.

#101

Fireside coffee
Sipped with the bright rising sun.
Relaxing morning.

#100

Shining dew settles
While the early sun rises
Over lush green grass.

Many religions
Long ago converged on this day,
And called it Easter.

#98

Eager flowers bloom;
Daffodils and bright tulips.
Quite the welcome sight.

#97

Now that spring is here,
And the weather is normal,
We await summer.

#96

As the sun comes out,
All the birds begin to sing,
And the breeze picks up.

#95

A chirp and a flop;
A bundle of fur upside down.
Kitten fell over.

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

#94

It was cold, raining.
Now I'm safe in my new home.
Where the heater works.

Monday, April 2, 2012

#93

Things fall and crash while
Kitten explores his new home.
The joys of moving.

#92

New place, new shelter.
It is like an adventure.
Soon it will be home.
