Moons of March

Sky looks down on earth
with the dark eye of a new moon,
spring winks at the stars. 

Seeds shed winter's shield
roots stretch in fertile dirt-
March howls for spring's warmth.

Loam stirs, breaking free-
muddling nightcrawlers rise
under the worm moon. 

Foretoken of spring
Marsh marigolds in damp fields
Hooverflies delight

Terrestrial tides collide 
rising high, but twice a year.
sun and moon poised.

A morrowless day
arriving on the equinox
perfectly balanced. 

Sugar Moon shines down-
sweet maples release sap
as March winds breathe change. 

Sugar Moon shines down-
sweet maples release sap
as March winds breathe change. #haikusaturday

Bordering Mamaw’s cotton field
Besides Momma’s fence
To my backyard
Daffodils.

Longing for a sidewalk stroll
along the storefronts of a –
five-and-dime
boutique
coffee house
with friends
 . . .mask less.

Misty moisty mizzling
Wintry winds whistling
Slinging sleet. #HaikuSaturday
