Ebullient robins call dawn,
bully each other for nest lots,
lenient bluebirds rustle in dry leaves.
Bliss for the morning, but
lien on this property.
I lean on the owner to let me stay
blubbling along with my scanty pay,
babbling promises to settle today.



April Haiku

Stalking the garden,
lily of the valley spikes
hurdle Spring to me.
