Poignant violin brings melancholy peace.
I know where you are, my love.

Flashes
Small, shiny pinwheels
Catching and tossing sunshine.
Music
Poignant violin brings melancholy peace.
I know where you are, my love.


Gone
Pink-tinged, white azaleas filled the giant bush
Then wilted and fell, one by one.
Don’t worry, lavender plumbago in the wings.

Spring Herbs
Beginning to peek over the tops of their boxes.
Tiny yellow flowers of tarragon.
Will we eat them?

Threatened
Blue and gray scrub jays with tough-guy voices
Discuss survival around the rim of the bird bath.

Soon Eggs
by DiVoran Lites
The flutter of cardinal
Wings, on a soft morning.
A tu-tu-tu mating call.
Red bird bringing seed to wife.

It’s April
by DiVoran Lites
But we still have poinsettias,
One from 2011
One from 2012
Three from 2013
Some scrawny—all still scarlet, crimson, glowing RED.
