Campfires and thunderstorms:
Heads poke out from under cover
To see clouds bursting that swell the river.

Ears prick to hear tree-snapping sounds

My Special Tree

in my front yard’s a special tree.

Shopkeepers brace for

Daffodils are still holding on.

Tulips begin their parade,
Grape hyacinth still poke out above leafy blade.

Fall I’ll replant bulbs thinned out by rodents,
It’s my yearly...

My Marsupial Mommy and Me
