saplings
standing
in violets

woodpecker
at the feeder
chased off by a jay
~ ~ ~ ~
constant music:
windchimes
during March
~ ~ ~ ~
red petunias
in the daffodil bed
wintered over
~ ~ ~ ~
on the Ides of March
a day-long rain
washing away winter
~ ~ ~ ~
with the bulldozer
next door, it's hard to hear
the mockingbirds, jays
~ ~ ~ ~
yard black with birds
leaving bird by bird
(some not yet ready)
