April 1

Pecan trees leaf out

Time to plant the spring garden

Danger of freeze gone

March 31

Bluetick hound baying

Back and forth two roosters crow

Inside he's writing

March 30

Walking, saw a finch

Perching on a barbed-wire fence

Small rose-colored bird

March 29

Fragrant as lilacs

Violet wisteria

Covers an elm tree

March 28

Wobbles when he walks

Skinny old man, suit and tie

Dressed for--Dairy Queen

March 27

Old is decaying

The world is in constant change

New is being born

March 26

Goldfish in the pond

Dragonfly hovers above

Sunrise paints the sky

March 25

Cigarette dangling

Old man sits on street corner

Nothing else to do

March 24

Sunday afternoon
Walking under overcast sky
Helpful breeze blowing

March 23

We cannot get in
Without the key we're locked out
Language is one key

March 22

Live oaks shed in spring
Spanish oaks shed in autumn
My hair is long gone

March 21

Middle of July
Family reunion
Now we're the old folks

March 20

When you are thirsty
Water is more than H2O
Jump in a cool pool

March 19

Building all around
Bewick's wren building again
Been here twenty years

March 18

In back of pickup
The bloodhound snuffles the air
Checking surroundings

March 17

A pile of twelve stones
After he had been dismissed
To return no more

March 16

Excess energy
Little boy with a stick
Beating on a tree

March 15

Ten story building
Home to rats, bats, and old ghosts
Once was fine hotel

March 14

He flunked retirement
No point to a jobless life?
Many flunk old age

March 13

I own many things
And many of them own me
What is in control?

March 12

Smiles trump cosmetics
She was ugly 'til she smiled
Then beauty shone through

March 11

French Roast in mug
Biscotti in cookie jar
I don't miss Starbucks

March 10

At the grocery store
Grackles clean up parking lot
Useful scavengers

March 9

As in a mirror
Your house portrays who you are
Visitors notice

March 8

An airborne wonder
Soaring grace of black buzzards
Surprising beauty

March 7

Age is not magic
Some old folks become wiser
Some become old fools

March 6

White cranes down the creek

Cottonwood fallen across

This in big city

March 5

Bright emerald green

Wheat field down in the valley

Red cattle grazing

March 4

Seeds, bugs, and green leaves
Chickens will eat anything
We eat fried chicken

March 3

Blue-green turquoise
Distinctly Navajo stone
But they don't own it

March 2

In the rose garden
Writing a dissertation
Sunny April day

March 1

Back when men wore hats
And women wore hats and gloves
We were young back then
