Things to Observe

I'm feeling the brightness of spring,


Collecting dandelion seeds,


Counting the flowers in the grass


So green, the ivy creeping near the


Fence edge, some petals wilting


With the taste of summer—going


To sleep until the next time around.


I still haven't made a garden


But I may soon plant something that will


Appreciate the dwindling heat of


Autumn months. Until then I have things


To plan—things to observe.
