Ode to Joy

Just for you (and you know who you are.)

Le printemps, c'est arrive.

Green, green and more green with some yellow films still hanging.
Dead stuff slightly less dead.
Dog poop revealed.
Mosquito cabanas weedeaten. Bastiches.
Giants schlumping back into formation.
Anole parts artfully strewn. Thank you, Merv.
Craneflies on the countertop. Thank you, craneflies.

Windows not dirty, just "frosted."
Driveway not mildewed, just "antiqued."
You that egged us before the hurricane and that we didn't discover til trees fell away-bastiches.
Blinding white legs not pasty, just "porcelain."

Bunion for all to view until at least December. Deal with it.
Flats of annuals calling like big honking fire sirens. Come buy me. NOW.

Dog and puppy festival in park.
Spring!

  1. How lovely!
    And so much more real and honest than those who refuse to see the poop needing scooped.

  2. I read too fast, and thought "cabanas" was something else.

    :(

  3. Jeannie, Mr.Froth diligently picks up the poop where he can see it, we just haven't "seen" it for awhile. At least they weren't moldy...
    I pick up deposits in the house. He does the yard.
