Spring Garden by Roelof Rossouw ~ South Africa

The light plays
Piccolo
High
Fragile
Earth thrums alto
Below ~ below
Clouds crowd
For tulip’s solo
And a little wren sings naught
But listens
The sun leans
Against the pickets
Happy for the rest
As honeysuckle taps
The rhythm
Scratch
Scratch
A metronome of fingers
On the fence
A world of whole notes
Shower me
Confetti bits
Of happiness
I fling them to the rhapsody
On morning air
