Spark

The fading fires of May’s red tulip blooms
herald the sunfire of June afternoons.

Whitsun

Within the wreck of fire tulip bloom,
new seeds take form and spite bud’s doom.

Emergent

From bushes’ shadows, baby’s breath.
He changes paths, accepts pride’s death.

Flight

Birdhouse, wood, a love that wanes.
Two doves who preen on different planes.

Poppy

A man, once bright, damp cheek,
stacks bricks until he’s alone.
Red poppy bloom wilts
on the wet flagstone.

May garden

Around her neck, a thin silver chain.
Iris slow-dances in the rain.

Fever

Raindrops slipping down
Japanese maple’s red leaves —
her touch cools my head

Spring fire

Orange flute tulips sway in the rain.
Winking torches off on a distant plain.

Église of breeze

Purple comfreys in a garden
where the wind is rolling.
A green belfry’s airy warden
sends purple bells tolling.

Rain

Two poppy pods met in the rain,
one still closed, one quite vain.
They twisted and turned, one damp dance.
Opposing, then opening. Raindrops glance.
