spring again

Dear Mom,

Well, the world continues to spiral downward - trying to focus on nature, family and art.
Have started writing haikus - the first one wow, I had picked all the daffodils in the yard because it was going to rain for three days and I wanted to enjoy them.

I inhaled their fragrance and it was like I inhaled you, my childhood and all sorts of things.
The sense of smell is so powerful.


draw in their soft scent
my mother personified
gone four years this spring


small bursts of yellow
on a cold and rainy day
nature's great reward


fancy red fur coat
with her long black evening gloves
always on the go


Even if they aren't great, they are good practice for the brain.

I miss you so much.
