In the town ballpark:
parakeets nest in the lights,
owls sit in left field.

Trailside mayflower patch,
green leaves but no buds yet--

March 12: Skunk cabbage
Kristen Lindquist
Skunk cabbages are very interesting plants that generate enough internal heat that they can melt snow in the spring. There's been no snow-melting necessary this spring, so today on our walk we were able to observe the fresh shoots of skunk cabbages raising their mottled heads in the cedar swamp.
Skunk cabbages rise.
Walking past we two
generate our own spring heat.
