Bear Face Emerging
From Green Gazing Moment, Now
Wisely Lope Away

Oh! Oxe-Eye Daisies!
Stand, Nourish, Pollinators
All Lift Toward Light

Earthly bone basket
Nourishing seen and unseen
Quiet life goes on

Creeping rhizomes ‘neath
Coltsfoot’s heavy lifting stalk
Who sips her nectar?

Rainland nettles grow
Larval food for butterflies
Welcome stinging greens!

Butterfly girl sees
Such magic and mystery
Springing from milkweed

Night time workers are
Biting off more then they take
Beavers’ Spring compost

Otters on the slough
Furcoats grooming, standing guard
Fish slipping away

Raven calls
Sweeps over snow patched road
Cold curiosity

Red rose hips 
Hangover snow
Birds sing
