Watercolor World



April snow. White
on pink, on yellow, on white,
on purple, on blue, on lavender.
Garden flowers
wearing crowns
of white.
White edging tulip leaves,
filling daffodil bells.
White clinging to every branch
of the Japanese maple--
reverse etching.
White melting in the birdbath
where the robins have come
for a polar swim.
White giving the yard
a mustache until a gust of wind
sneezes it away
My grandmother said
it was magical. My
dad called it the
'poor man's fertilizer.'
Very different perspectives
on a watercolor world.
