New Poem
Spring BreezesI’m getting ready for April
because the wind
has everything in sway
so I know the 4th month
is on its way
dust particles fly
like oregano from the sky
and I wonder if the giant
who built the portal
is seasoning his prey for the feast
and as the breezes increase
I tilt my head to avoid
the dreaded allergens
for which my sinuses
cannot defend
I can’t wait until it’s May
when I can say
it’s getting closer to summer
