Spring Is Not All Rainbows and Butterflies
...Ah, Spring: each laden cloud more rain delivers,
that soaks our clothes and in our new shoes sloshes.

once lost off the Normandy coast,
briefly surfaces.
Off the Bognor Regis coast

She is a breath of fresh air
The kind you don’t meet every day
Her long and graceful fingers are filled with (bling)

Lover of the Sea
...The sea is a wild feast -
my heart in breast beating.
The sea, a hungry beast,
tug of war competing.
My feet dissolve in its wake.
I wade out to meet the waves.

April showers water wheat and grain
May flowers grow on the lane
The mud splashes the mud sloshes

fear if it all just ended
shapes us like quivering jello molds

Bursting
Like popcorn stuck on sticks
Raising my perspective to

With sphagnum and lichen

She ladles gravy

her teeny tiny wings clapping.
This fairy,...

green water slipping under ribs.
I circle a mandala of light behind my eyes.
Pals slip through rings of sparkling sunshine.
Pale limbs dive through slowly s...
