What to Consider

(C) R.L.K.

The morning sun breaks
through the clouds and now
the drenched grass glistens 
and tiny raindrops
on the silver leaves
of the poplar tree
turn into bright pearls.

Spring Morning

(C) R.L.K.

Deep gray clouds, and mist;
willows turning gauzy green;
with a fluttering
of tiny wings, swift young birds
rise darkly against the sky.
