SPRING IN THE MOUNTAINS

Oh, hello, rainy wet sloppy day
After I make some toast
I’ll just sit and watch the river
You’ve made flow downhill
Toward the choppy lake
Together we’ll put off summer
One more day

MAGICAL DOGWOOD

Neither dogs nor wood
their white flowers 
are soft clouds
playing like puppies 
high in the trees
