haikus for false Spring

sunny Sunday sun

equinox dress rehearsal

spring not far away

sharp tongued blue jay

sits resplendent in tree line

beauty is a beast

sun worshippers bask

bodies lie along the shore

turtles seeking warm

three red and one brown

two cardinals do not care

two reds will be sad

lengthening daylight

slow tilt towards equator

I won’t miss the cold

dust floats in my tea

savor false spring on palate

mint flakes and tree musk
