Dawn peeps upon
moisture sprinkled moonlight world
dew drops baptize day

Bones litter entrance
history scattered in dirt
memories exit

Eastern skies parade
pinks and earthy oranges.
New spring colors burst forth,
tinting clouds and mountains,
a frothy blush of strawberry milkshake
cool creaminess.
Skyscrapers glow warm peach
and sweet cantaloupe melon flesh.
A natural palette of intense hues
display a timeless beauty.
Spring’s theme – perfect any time of the year!
Spring solstice rain
washes away winter grime
moon whispers goodbye
Cupid treads lightly
blending in among people.
No cherub cheeks and angel wings
for this god.
His slender build and youthful swagger,
emanate confidence.
Warned by Venus not to shoot his love arrows
indiscriminately,
his pride insists on moderation.
Teens are seen holding hands,
eyeing each other.
Wrapped in flighty arms of youthful desire.
Couples rendezvous,
inflamed hearts oblivious to their surroundings.
He smiles knowingly.
He sees harried mothers toting hollering tots,
haggard fathers lugging heavy brief cases.
He scans politicians, preachers,
homeless, and actors.
Cupid continues his search.
Waiting for the perfect specimen to sting
with his magical love bite,
wanting to make
his mother proud.
