Nature writes “Spring”
in colorful blooms, even
over rough bark.

Nature writes “Spring”
in colorful blooms, even
over rough bark.

yellow blossoms
herald the Spring:
fragrance spreads the news.

white blossoms
seen through still bare trees:
looks like fog, sans fog.

creek that trickles
through a stark winterscape —
days from riverhood.

sunlit garden
to distant mountains —
every shade of green.
