night music

a storm-dropped minstrel
skips half-notes off the surface of sidewalk ponds
puddle music
lulla-jazz-abies
his street light lit saxophone
accompanied only by the
drip
drip
drip
of leftover afternoon rain

  1. and in the morning
    robin song
    spring peeper peeps
    woodcock buzzes
    and then
    toad trill
    for the first time
    this rainy spring season

  2. This is great ....especially these lines:

    They have hooked me....wish I'd written them!!
