Rocks are making rocks –
On the beach, in the river ~
Deep beneath your feet.
Challenging yoga –
Struggle with some of the moves ~
Watch goldfinch instead.
The first daffodil –
Bright herald of more to come ~
Buds ready to burst.
Watch the Top Forty-
Don’t know any of the songs ~
Nor do I want to.
February rain –
Dip in my garden fills up ~
I should make a pond.
She’s gone many years –
A lifetime ago, in fact ~
Still missing her though.
Growing impatient –
Things moving slowly this year ~
The first daffodil.
Not yet dark at six –
Grand stretch in the evening ~
But nowhere to go.
A revelation –
Mardi Gras is ‘Fat Tuesday’ ~
The French sounds better.
Looking at my hands –
Have always been pleased with them ~
As have some women.
