Monoku-ku

A cold wind chilled rain
Dances with a warming sun
                                …April’s goose bumps


Mushy melting leaves
Replenish the earth
                            …As earthworms daydream


An Easter ribbon
Adorns a Robins nest
                       …she sits silently


Trouble in paradise
A gang of dandelions
                      …flash dancing


The cat grins
A rose garden litter box
                                …how thoughtful
