Exorbitant  
dollars spent  
inexorably  
bringing outside 
in, 
perfuming days 
the grey of a hastily erased  
chalkboard. 
- 
White tulips tight and virginal 
heave and drape 
at the mildest suggestion  
of heat; 
trembling cherry blossoms 
their fleeting beauty  
a wake-up call to consciousness; 
quince blossoms  
begging contemplation  
of life’s potentials 
bitter as the fruit  
gossamer as the flower; 
a magnolia branch 
tall, isolated 
pilfered  
from an abandoned lot 
its leaves as magnanimous 
as its bear paw of a flower. 
- 
Tinkling gutters 
keep seasonal time 
the delighted screech 
of drenched birds, 
glistening citrus 
the soggy longing of  
the camellia flower  
enveloped in winter.
