Neopoet's Renga 7 (A Spring Renga Splash)

The brook serenades
lullaby to a willow
to sooth its weeping
it's drooping branches in cheer
rustle a sigh of relief

All buds are bursting
the willow sweeps the grass
dew drops make rainbows
warm rain floats in the quiet air
seeking dry roots hiding there.

Pink cherry blossoms
and rosy red azaleas
blue birds sing, mating
winter has pass spring beyond
summer pollen takes my voice
