impatient child
 gives pollen fluff a blow;
  it does not yield.

the bee wallows 
 in pollen like a drunk
  sprawls on a bar’s floor.

tiny tousled stalks
release a pollen plume
hush: here; hush: gone

a pollen cloud 
eddies in the air
from a footfall

stalwart Beech tree
still gathering sunlight
on last year’s leaf

dandelion
arrives to party first
eager flower

a bud breaks open
its tiny leaf waves hello
welcoming the spring

spring’s urgent leisure
flowers drop a fine pollen
to ride listless winds
