Spring Scene


Spring Scene


Crickets jump

Each greening clump

With slim, elastic knees.


Robins glance

With sweet askance

At bubbling cherry trees.


Violets,

In woodsy sets,

Make love to faithless bees.

    How Evelyn saw the ubiquity of attraction, desire, and coupling. What a gift it was that she could marvel in it, to open herself to it and allow it to beget poetry in her!
