FOUR HAIKU FOR SPRING
Why these thoughts of spring?
Is it the smell of the air,
the light on the snow?
***
For spring gardening,
to shake out the dried loam
from last fall’s shoes.
***
Clear weather at last!
The gray hills are green again
& five miles nearer.
***
He lies in the grass
& feels the kite above him
tugging at the string.
