Poetry

The Buds Are Set

You might have to look real close.

The apples, the lilacs,

and the forsythias

have made their claims

against the resistance,

choosing instead

the impending unfolding.

Cold as it is,

they have been busy,

undercover you might say,

preparing for the splendor

of spring.

The buds have been set.

Just wait and see.

Before the Wind

The lilacs engulfed

in fresh powder,

at least until the winds

arrive with the next front

later tonight.

Can these really be the same

trees that will inundate

the yard with lavender blooms,

a fragrance strong enough

to seap through the screen door

come June and join

us at the dinner table?
