Celebration

| Plum blossom in the snow |
Celebration
finally, winter has gone
early plum blossoms
© Chèvrefeuille
light fragrance tickles the nostrils
as soon as I get outside
spring thaw
human&dog cakewalk
cracks on the ice
awakened sparrows
looking for last year crumbs
morning sun
glances joyfully
early plum blossoms
a little petal’s soaring
even a bird has a dream…

at the courtyard
curly creepers keep track
the stories
hastily tapping heels,
creak of loosely closed door
to the barn…

on the river
breeze cradling the water
silently
lights float to the horizon
little sovereign home-links
in a big chain
the dead rejoice
reading the letters
offspring

a half-moon dream
in my garden
starflowers bloom
come and see
© Chiyo-Ni (age 6)
in my garden
unknown souls
host a show
starflowers bloom
every morning I find one
when my soul and I touch
come and see
sitting with me
the half-moon dream

with the last leaf burnt

auburn with moisture
autumn glamor
on the porch
sidestepping around
