Poems: “Almost June in New England”

Poems:  June 1, 2015

And now it IS JUNE.

Here is a poem Jeanne Gervais sent me the other day–before I got home and could post it.

Almost June in New England

Barefoot on dirt

and warm porch floorboards.

Indoor plants are outside

breathing air, soaking sun.

I saw an ant, a Robin with red breast

all in a morning.

Look at all the light green buds in the trees!

When did that happen? Wasn’t it yesterday we had snow.
