Sitting in the sun,
drinking a latte, waiting
for spring to surprise.

-- Davi Walders

Rockified

Creek bank gardener
swears round river stones
breed underground
flourish in the light

***

Two red geranium buds
one yellow rose
essence of summer in blue vase

***

Like fuzzy yellow
tennis balls, tiny warblers
bounce among willows

Better than Flowers

Granite balls
picked from the creek
pile in a crockery bowl

-- Patricia Wellingham-Jones
