Thinking of Spring


At Union Square the twigs are twisting


and the pussy-willow


 is enchanting.


The trees are thickening and budding.



On Long Island, the young ones are set to work digging


and the skies are brilliant bright in the city.


On the High Line crews are cutting back winter’s dead growth - observed from above by a rather languid maiden.


At home, daffs are picturesque


as are tulips.


At the diner on the corner Mr. Beady-Eyes tells us he’s thinking of hopping.
Today it’s pouring with rain, of course
But tomorrow I start planting the tree pits.


Happy Spring!

  3. Having briskly turned the page on March, it's grand to welcome all the promise of April. No fooling! Grand seeing you and Robert the other day. xo
