New red bark replacing
winter's dry red berries.
Iridescent feathering,
fluffing & strutting of the blackbirds.
If it were cloudy the whole season
they'd have no hatching.
The pleasure of fitting stone to finger,
one quick flick of the wrist & it spins
skipping over the water
splashes giving into ripples.
I only throw the flat ones.
They make more splashes per capita,
slower to fill up the river.
