Napo 23

Today's prompt was to write two elevenies. I wrote four because I'm an over-achiever. Whatever.
Anyway, these short forms are a challenge for me, so it was good poetic practice. I wrote four about the different south Texas seasons.

Spring,

Green,

a beginning

dangling huisache flowers

emerge, a child’s laughter,

hope.

Summer,

Hot

The sun

Looming, scorching, loving.

It’s all too much,

Love.

Fall

Respite,

Heavy sigh

Encinos release acorns

Parakeets return to paradise,

Content.

Winter,

Quiet

And gentle,

A cold front

Wafts in, a welcome

End.
