The Poetry Of Scot
            Young


            
 


            
Front Porch Spring

            A Dirt Road Haiku Sonnet

            
brown hills sprinkled with

            white blooms of serviceberry 

            waiting for dogwoods

            
crappie huddle up

            on old Christmas trees weighted

            for this shallow cove

            
overnight pop of

            greens finally hide light noise

            of next hill neighbor

            
fawns freeze in driveway

            scattered Sweet William backdrop

            of almost redbuds

            
whippoorwills will return as

            if they never left
