Paradox
Spring air like warm bath
But ahhh-choo! Pollen torments
Grab morning paper — JG
River Run
Wife sips coffee at
4th Street café between films
The wind wants my hat — JG
Stream clean
Ripe women, boosters,
College students, all pulling
Garbage from the creek — JG
Primavera
Springtime is about
Riding in pick-up truck beds,
Trespassing in pools. — EG
The tower
The water tower
Looks over the empty mill,
Cooking in May heat. — EG
Recess
Dandelion wine.
Cookout shakes and fireflies.
School’s out forever. — EG
Allergen
Flowers bloom and spread
Icky yellow pollen, then
Watery eyes hurt — DS
Clean rain
Spring showers help wash
Winter’s stagnant funk off and
Wet hopes for happy summer — DS
False spring
Strange storms roll through town
Spring roaring with wet fury
A difficult birth — BC
To seed
Weed killer on lawn
Reveals distinct imbalance
‘Twas mostly crabgrass — BC
