Seven Slivers of Spring

hedgerows greenup-
nature's pastiche
awakens from winter sleep.

Quiet greets the Spring morn,
a shaft of light diffuses night 

snow melts slowly-
a trickle,unseen,runs free 
begins a new spring
#

A babbling burn ,riverine unseen,
a stream of freshwater  silts sloping banks
the current slows to- 
eddys, where fat chubb doze.

Quiet greets the Spring morn,
a shaft of light
diffuses night into -
a dawn chorus.

Amid the eerie dayspring light
yesterday's memories glow so bright
#

blossoms a welcome
springtime emblem-
the foretast of fruitage
to come
