April 30, 2015

My month fades away,
showers replaced by flowers-
prelude to summer.

April 29, 2015

Fiery laburnum
blooms cascade towards the earth-
spring is in full swing.

April 28, 2015

Grey blustery day
camouflages spring- we doubt
warm days are coming.

April 27, 2015

Laptops shouldn't be
on laps, cats should be instead-
natural order.

April 26, 2015

Sunday slips away,
audiobooks play- Monday
I choose to ignore.

April 25, 2015

Foreboding dark clouds
threaten to drench Saturday-
thirsty spring garden.

April 24, 2015

A competition
I can never win- cat takes
heating pad again.

April 23, 2015

In the dark, a soft
bunt, cat in between us in
bed- I drift to sleep.

April 22, 2015

Gardenia shows
its displeasure at my care-
no surprises there.

April 21, 2015

New tea to sample,
fragrant cup takes me away-
meow brings me back.

April 20, 2015

Lovely sleeping face
illuminated by sun-
wish I could nap now.

April 19, 2015

Adding up receipts,
slips, tedium- tax returns
done until next year.

April 18, 2015

Airplane overhead,
memories of distant lands-
yearning to escape.

April 17, 2015

Tiny forehead pressed
to the pillow, he slumbers.
What dreams does he dream?

April 16, 2015

Sun warmed Persian rug,
cat shares his cosy spot with
me- Wednesday catnap.

April 15, 2015

Early orange sun
illuminates pine needles-
bird songs light my heart.

April 14, 2015

Wide awake, kitchen
trip, midnight bite of cheese- toss,
turn, count hours till dawn.

April 13, 2015

Calm crows choose sticks for
treetop nests- my peaceful walk
ends, crow dive bombing.

April 12, 2015

Blinding white on white,
seagull soars by backlit clouds-
crow in cherry tree.

April 11, 2015

Clouds slowly sweeping
across blue sky- spring showers
bring on sweet flowers.

April 10, 2015

Bleeding heart cascades
from spring bouquet- spent petals
drift to worn wood floor.

April 9, 2015

Distant crow calls, cat
feigns nonchalance, casual
bath- I'm stuck indoors.

April 8, 2015

Creamy petals flare
revealing yellow stamens-
sweet Easter lily.

April 7, 2015

Shy gardenia
holds its cream buds close- waiting
to smell paradise.

April 6, 2015

Easter lily buds,
straining to open, sweet scent
veiled- inner beauty.

April 5, 2015

Meow! My eyes closed.
Meow! Open. Meow! I
sigh. Time to wake up.

April 4, 2015

Anticipating
curry and chicken pad thai-
Saturday Thai lunch.

April 3, 2015

Cloudy day, time for
cat to ponder passing birds-
Easter dinner plans.

April 2,2015

Lilac encroaches
on the front steps- a fragrant
greeting to all soon.

April 1, 2015

No one around to
relish my April fools- cats
lack sense of humour.
