A Rumphius Challenge
Last Friday in April! Get outdoors! The whole world's a poem!
Peepers
emerge,
announce
themselves
one by
one
building
a consensus
of rhythm
and night songs.
Daffodils appear
too
along the hillside,
a startling display
of dazzling yellow,
but magnolia
trumps them
all,
lasting only
a day or two,
she bursts
on the scene
a head full
of pale pink.
A swirl of
wind
could wisp
her away...and
so
I'll stop
this day,
and look
and savor,
for soon
that burst
will
be gone.
