This grouping will be limited to around a dozen poems. Sometimes that would represent a year, other times a good month!

Spring, alas

Immense and hopeful, Spring fits
into a scatter of green and yellow
organic matter that used to lure kids
outdoors to make dandelion bracelets.

But now, since screens were put in their palms,
their green minds* are bound to inorganic matter.
