unfurled buds,
not drooped to gravity,
tell Spring’s story.

willow-lined stream
swells with a rush of
Spring white water.

“Autumn Within” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow [w/ Audio]
It is autumn; not without,
But within me is the cold.
Youth and spring are all about;
It is I that have grown old.
Birds are darting through the air,
Singing, building without rest;
Life is stirring everywhere,
Save within my lonely breast.
There is silence: the dead leaves
Fall and rustle and are still;
Beats no flail upon the sheaves
Comes no murmur from the mill.

in ripples on the pond
before felt on skin.

Foresight [Senryū]
from the hilltop,
Spring downpour creeps nearer;
me, sans raingear.

“Spring Thoughts” by Li Bai [w/ Audio]
Yan grass shimmers like silken jade.
Qin mulberry trees' green leaves droop.
Your homecoming is now at hand
As heartbreak has me thin and stooped.
Spring Winds and I are strangers --
Why, past my curtains, the inward swoop?
Chinese Title: 春思; Original poem in Simplified Chinese:
燕草如碧丝， 秦桑低绿枝；
当君怀归日， 是妾断肠时。
春风不相识， 何事入罗帏？

pink blossom drops
in still morning air
beside a quiet lake.

gusting Spring winds:
can the hunkered crow
take to flight?
