winter remnant

hiding in the shade
underneath the shrubbery:
small, white clump of snow

spring blooming

bud splitting open
shyly reveals the color
of first tulip bloom.

march joggers

ursine figures plod
ending their hibernation
to shed winter weight.

winter evaporating

damp, heavy march air,
thick with anticipation
of summer's return.

post equinox

the first day of spring
brings joy (despite bitter wind)
as days grow longer.

spring in the city

melted snow reveals
a winter's worth of garbage
stuck to every fence.

roof ice

shrinking from the edge,
perched, clinging, fearing the fall,
dripping with chilled sweat.

first thaw

snow warmed by spring air,
dissolves into pebbly slush.
mud season begins.
