Spring in Louisiana

Violets getting pushy on front lawns.

Redbud in the backyard

Redbud in the backyard


Redbud trees pink against winter’s bare branch.
Irises swell in bed, such proud mamas.
Butterweed give yellow a new name.
Thatches of loblolly surround bald land.
Wisteria is lace, the purple rain.
Couches of azalea watch the passing game.
