Boys, Buckets, and Nets

a man and woman
walking on separate paths –
children scream loudly

rose petals falling
as flowers die on the vine –
three boys pricked alone

weeping willow trees
shroud their twisted trunks with limbs –
tree house and laughter

early in the day
sun shines above the frog pond –
boys, buckets, and nets
