June 2: Over the cemetery wall
Kristen Lindquist
Walked around New Haven this morning before class...
Stone angel
faces the cemetery,
her back to the street.
June 1: Osprey
Kristen Lindquist
Hit the road this morning for a week at the Yale School of Forestry taking an intensive class in conservation finance...
Osprey keens overhead
while we kiss goodbye
before my long drive.

Kristen Lindquist
Warbler sings unseen
from behind the screen of leaves.
I've waited for this.

May 29: Nest
Kristen Lindquist
I was wrong in my May 26 post. The Blue Jays really did build a nest over our front door while we were away, and now she's up there brooding on eggs! I think of the classic haiku poet Issa, his compassion toward the spiders and other creatures that lived with him...
Please use the back door.
Mother jay is sitting tight
on three eggs out front.
May 28: Pedicure
Kristen Lindquist
Three weeks till summer--
bare feet in wet grass,
freshly polished toe nails.

May 27: Rain again
Kristen Lindquist
In this greener world
it's easier to bear
more rain.
